    Tanks need fuel, drivers, and ways to cross rivers, drones have limited range and don’t see inside buildings. Roads, power, and water are pressure points. You don’t stand up to a stronger military force, you make it too expensive to operate, never being there when sudden things happen. That’s why IEDs were the biggest problem in Iraq and Afghanistan. No one to chase, everyone is a suspect, all enforcement has to operate at maximum alert, always.

      Tanks need fuel, drivers, and ways to cross rivers,

      So, in your heroic Call of Duty wet dream you are also going to use the AR-15 you bought at Walmart to destroy every single bridge in the continental US?

      drones have limited range and don’t see inside buildings.

      “We received reports that there were insurgents hiding inside of that hospital posing as doctors so we bombed the fuck out of them.”

      Roads, power, and water are pressure points

      Transformers are definitely a thing that can be taken out by a few stray bullets… and increasingly have those microphone set ups to track who shot at them.

      See above regarding how you are apparently going to engage in a mass bombing effort to take out all of the infrastructure and the implied mockery.

      you make it too expensive to operate,

      So… just to check. Your genius plan is that you will make it too expensive for the US government to operate in the United States and then expect said US government to pull out of the… US?

        You are assuming a level of omniscience to our police and military that they only dream of actually having. And if you think the US population will put up with their own military, turning their own cities into Gaza, you would be very mistaken.
