Might wanna check the actual combat statistics there bud. Shit Vietnam was also a professional, well-supplied army with a decade of combat experience against the French and massive infrastructure advantages.
This is home turf, not foreign soil that’s attempting to be occupied peacefully. Plus, you’d have 50% of a country, give or take, readily willing to turn you in or attack you themselves, and 0 logistics infrastructure.
It’s amazing to me this take is still common with people when it’s so easily laughed at.
If you wanna go hide in the woods with your buddies, you can do that without trying to overthrow the government.
I was responding to your previous point that a standing military is all that matters against an occupied civilian force. I don’t think that really bears up to scrutiny in historical terms.
Also, I don’t know where you got off thinking I’m trying to LARP as a militia member, but nice strawman with absolutely zero background to support that conclusion…

Then, frankly, you’re wrong.
it was a generalized “you”
Cool, but you could have just said that initially without being kind of an asshole.
Well since you said it to me, how else was I supposed to take that.
Anyways, not mad at you. Was more just making a joke initially, but maybe in bad faith. Which, by the way, I was more than willing to admit.
