Have you been paying attention to the war in the middle east? Unless the government turns to firebombing cities, they wouldn't stand a chance. Look how much trouble they're having fighting malnourished, poorly trained soldiers wearing robes for protection and limited arms. Think of how much more careful they would be when collateral damage effects your neighbors instead of some stranger from seemingly another time. A war against the American populace is a war that can't be won with current war tactics. Obviously if the gov decides it wants to nuke our own cities there's nothing we can do about it. But if the goal is minimizing civilian casualties as it is in Iraq and Afghanistan, they stand no chance.
