There are all sorts of reasons an operation as simple as crossing a creek might fail - but we probably do want to leave room for the possibility that recent nation building exercises have failed because the nation builders did not actually want them to succeed. The ruling classes of our own purported democracies have more in common both ideologically and financially with the dictators and oligarchs of nothereistan than either do with their own nations citizens. This may also explain why we'd rather spend 200 million not building a democracy than that same 200 million building houses for homeless vets. If you want to bring in humanitarian aid, bulk out infrastructure, build schools and hospitals, and provide physical security for some group of people ....after toppling an authoritarian regime..... it's going to take boots. Lots of boots. Professional soldiers, well trained, all-volunteer, and with a strong culture of accountability. This will likely never not be the case, no matter how complex our murderbots become - because nation building, from intimate one on one encounters to full programs, requires a distinctly and overtly human touch.
As for civilians with guns - that's how you get blackwaters. Nobody needs those assholes in their life.
