Ending low-intensity conflict within the United States is not going to be achieved by pure force. At least not by any level of force that can be practically applied. Dominant factors will lean more towards public relations, resilience, and good OODA loops. These are not areas at which the US Federal Government excels. Attempts to remedy such situations with overwhelming force will only serve to exacerbate them. I'll guess that the next two decades (or less) will see a phase change in the nature of US governance, even if the superficial forms remain the same.
