    Military gets overhyped. The U.S. Armed Forces have not successfully managed to root out a guerilla force ever. It’s why they lost in Vietnam and why they keep losing in the Middle East. To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure if any modern military is actually equipped to handle a mobilized, armed revolution from their own civilians.

      War overseas isn’t same as insurgency at home.

      Also, Americans have been living pretty comfortable lives compared to tough mofos in Vietnam and Afghanistan where poverty and instability is/was the norm. Few weeks of hardships and the insurgency in US will die out.
