I have a hard time imagining even a large group of people with vast stockpiles of weapons competing on any level with the largest military in the history of the world. If the US government turns against its citizens, it's game over. Or, to quote Andre Benjamin, While we ranting and raving about gats / N%&, they made them gats / They got some shit that'll blow out our backs.

In the case of Vietnam, them understood this very well. Is super-clear you can't defeat a more powerfull army if you charge ahead. So, you don't.
