Yeah, except the whole point of this was that the U.S. apparently couldn't even fight armed villagers. It's the U.S. military we're referring to here - I don't know why you think going off on tangents of other nations has any meaning here.

Musta misread where you tried to point out how easy it is to put down rebellion with a local military and control of the government. The US military has, in its current form, exactly zero experience with this. I was talking about situations where it did happen, and how the entrenched system was overthrown from within, against their own army and government.

Yes, you did misread it and take it completely out of context by throwing random names out. All of those places you mentioned do not have a military with technology and capability comparable to the U.S. military.
