    It definitely was. The Vietnamese kicked our asses but that’s because they knew how to use their terrain to their advantage. America had not fought a true guerilla war before that time and especially not one on enemy territory.

    But Joe Podunk and his huntin’ guns are not going to be holed up in a foxhole surrounded by punji sticks for two weeks. Special forces would just drop a missile on his F-150 and call it a day.

    Realistically the only way an American rebellion doesn’t get crushed within minutes of forming is if the armed forces fracture and it blooms into a federal civil war. Then all of us are well and truly fucked much more than we are now.
