Soldiers, including guerrillas, are mostly very young, trained to fight, and are much more physically fit than most non-combat folks realize. Real training for real combat soldiers (very small percentage of total military personnel) is very uncomfortable, necessarily humiliating, lengthy and not “as seen on TV” or on civilian commando ranges. But without such training, people won’t fight like soldiers. Regardless of previous plans or determination, they’ll only be afraid and generally compliant.

Even armed citizens will be this fearful?
