They have a force of roughly 14,000 military personnel. I think that includes all the services put together.

The odds for them are... not good.

No.
Actually Russians beated Georgians at 1:1 ratio
When Georgians pushed into Osetia they outnumbered Russians 14:1.
Georgians attacked with 14,000 men (out od army of 38,000) but Russians crushed them in osetia with as much as 7,000 and 58th army deployed as much as 14,000 against Georgians.

Then it is time for guerrilla warfare. They need Stingers and Javelins badly to take out Russian planes and armor. Get the Russians out of the air and out their tanks and the Georgians will have a chance. Not much of a chance, but a chance.
