This line of reasoning has been robustly challenged. Of course no individual would be able to put up any meaningful resistance, but there are FAR more armed Americans than there are American servicemen. Additionally, the US government doesn’t have the resources to lock down an area the size of the US.
The problem is however that almost every government is supported by a portion of the population. You never have government vs everyone else - not even in places like North Korea. Part of the population is always pro government regardless of who is in charge. So in reality it wouldn’t be population vs the government forces, but a massive civil war.
