Maybe you’re right about the young generation, but you have to realize that the young generation fills our current military and they are said to be some of the best soldiers that the country has fielded. Your point about weapons that they may have etc. if kind of silly. Look at the history of guerilla warfare. Heck, start with the American revolution. It’s not just about firepower.
It IS about today's firepower and technology. The youth of today do not have the resolve to fight as hard and make the same sacrifices that the Patriots who freed this country from the rule of King George.
>>”...current military and they are said to be some of the best soldiers that the country has fielded.”<<
It is because they are the “best [equipped] soldiers this country has ever produced. They have the highest and most efficient arms ever produced at their disposal. It is you sir, that is being “silly” if you think an unorganized band of ‘resistance fighters’ with bad backs could match the modern soldier utilizing night vision, FLIR technology, an Air Force, a Navy, tanks and cruise missiles. We old farts would be eliminated within days of our so-called “resistance”. Sorry to rain on your parade, but it is so and you know it.
“Heck, start with the American revolution. It’s not just about firepower.”
We weren’t able to win the revolution until we formed an effective, well trained, regular force equipted much like the British Redcoats. Of course, the French Navy helped too.
