In Afghanistan, the US govt was hamstrung by very restrictive self-imposed ROEs and the lack of a true desire to defeat the enemy.

That won't be the case here.

Do the numbers. No way the government can control an uprising of the populace.

USSR couldn't do it, and they were admitted hard core communists with government agencies just for that very purpose.

Absolute government control of this country is a fantasy. Otherwise, illegals wouldn't be growing weed in national forests.

Government is by the consent of the governed.

If the government takes off the gloves and starts hammering the population all willy-nilly, then even more of the citizens will rise up and fight.
