    whenever I feel bad about not being allowed to own a gun, I just read about military tech to remind myself how useless rifles are against the real war machines anyway.

        yeah, well, things really have changed in the last few decades...
        but I guess a large part of successful insurgency is just moving quickly to achieve political goals, or use rifles to get access to the military toys before they are deployed.

          An international Coalition has been fighting the Taliban for 19 years, a bunch of goat herders and farmers in one of the poorest countries in the world, and are resurging.

          A successful insurgency outside the core outlasts the enemy, either by periodic "We're still here assholes" attacks for decades like the IRA, until they come to the table and cut a deal. Or by forcing such horrible measures on the enemy that they drown in the blood they have to shed to stop you.
