@williamfranz9872 It would depend on the reason for the domestic insurgency. But I'm not really talking about a minor insurgency, I'm talking about the people rising up against a government that's gone rogue. And you're forgetting that the military are family and friends of citizens. The military would break into factions, with some supporting the citizens.
If 10 million citizens revolted because the government attempted to seize all weapons from US citizens in a gross violation of the Constitution, most of the military would side with the people.
If a fight broke out between the entire military and the entire population of US citizens, the military would have no chance just by sheer numbers.
In general, it wouldn't be as neat and tidy as you think it would be. You need to consider dozens of critical factors and variables.
For example, citizens are not just a bunch of sheep sitting around waiting to be slaughtered, there are doctors, all kinds of engineers, technical specialists, builders, veterans (former generals, lieutenants, colonels, infantryman, pilots, communication specialist, etc). A tremendous amount of talent and expertise which could organize a gigantic fighting force.
Do you know who supplies US military bases?
