Law 1.
If there is an army that wants stuff, the only thing that will stop it from getting stuff is a superior army.
Law 2.
Contrary to Hollywood movies, a few guys do not constitute an army. No matter how good their equipment is.
Law 3.
If an army wants your stuff, and you are not part of a superior army, see laws one and two.
Law 4.
If you do not like any of these laws, reality doesn’t care.
I expressed all that with a dot.
Brevity is the soul of wit ;-)
You are correct. As MikeTyson said,”everybody has a plan till I punch them in the face. “.
That’s why I laugh at keyboard guerrilla fighters. For those in the service just imagine a Marine battalion rolling into you city. With artillery, armor, helicopter support and TRAINED men between the ages of 18-28 full of disciplined piss and vinegar.
I couldn’t even imagine one tank round going through a house in my neighborhood or somebody letting some .50cal automatic fire spray down a street from side to side. Heck one round would go through two houses.
The prepper stuff sounds good but civilians fighting an organized army is “War of the Flea” type of stuff. NOBODY knows how fighting an armed organized invasion would shake out. I hope I never have to
Well, long-term delay land mines and biological/radiological weapons help. I am reminded of the Finnish woman who spent the night scrubbing her floor before Finnish soldiers came to burn it down the next the night day; the Keralian Peninsula had been ceded to the Soviet Union and the Finns left nothing usable for them to enjoy. When one gives their home for their country she is reported to have said, You want it to be as nice a gift as possible. It was not simply a gesture.

True. However, there ARE force multipliers, and there are technicians who can accomplish results WAY outside that of sheer numerical strength.
Law 3.

But don't forget to leave them some nice surprise packages as well. Even if you are long gone, that can be the gift that keeps on taking.
Law 4.

Concur. Don't break those laws. But sometimes, you can work around them. And if Those Other People don't like it, I don't care.
