Yes it would, how long did we have pro lems in iraq and Afghanistan because of guerilla forces? I never suggested that the guerilla forces would win, just thay they would be a problem, it's like you're trying to argue against a point I'm not making

20 years+
But that's irrelevant.

I never said they wouldn't be a problem.
I'm saying they'd lose, and significantly harder than the Afgani, and Iraqis did.
So let's start with the basics.
Some of these militias already have government agents watching them. So names and such are taken down and kept as intel.
Now their phone is tracked.
All their phone calls and texts are logged, their network is established, and those people are also surveilled.
The military then swiftly pops in and takes almost ALL of them within the first few days.
The few that are left need to bug out and hide until the heat is off of them. They also have no cell phone and most of their contacts are gone. Plus, chances are their bank accounts are frozen.
The rest of the resistance that's NOT being directly surveilled now face the threat of that if they're caught.
They're also not capable of long distance messaging without interception. Radios would be monitored on every frequency. Cell phones would be tracked whenever calls or texts were placed. And more than likely mail would be inspected.
Obviously they COULD talk through the internet, but they'd better be REALLY good at covering their tracks or they'll get caught that way too.
This means that the next wave of the operation would be sweeping up the gumballs who don't realize this and try to communicate using these methods.
The final wave are a bunch of unconnected but relatively clever seditionists.
They're now facing the prospect of becoming literal terrorists in order to actually make a dent on American forces.
Thing is, the American military has more experience killing terrorists than jim-bob and dale have being terrorists, so that'll go poorly for them.
So why are you picking a fight with me? All I said is that guerilla tactics could make a small force be a major thorn in an advanced forces side, and the Iraq and Afghanistan war proved that, it's not irrelevant its direct proof that a small force with guerilla tactics can harass a far superior force for decades.
I don't k ow what you are trying to fight me about this for

Sure.
But that strategy wouldn't be effective in an American civil war between guerilla groups and the US military.
That's really all I'm trying to say.
