It took 130,000 of the best troops in the world to control over 12 million people of which 15% were “insurgents”. Four “insurgents” with crude weapons could tie up 150 Marines for most of a day.

That implies 3.25 million to control America, if 15% were insurgents.
They won’t come at us that way. They’ll do it like they always have - individually and sideways.

Your premise (Four “insurgents” with crude weapons could tie up 150 Marines for most of a day.) is assuming that the Marines had the discretion to prosecute the engagement without having their hands tied by the pseudo -leaders in DC. I can say that if there was the choice to fully engage the enemy as it should have, their abilities (insurgents) would have been nothing more than a fart in the wind.

not with proper air support....eliminate the area in which the insurgents used for their “fortress”...ELIMINATE it !!!!!
