Expect expecting a group of civilians in era of tanks, drones, radios, cruise missiles, airplanes, etc. to defeat an army it is a guarantee the army will win.

What's the point of this exactly?

The United States armed forces in Vietnam were never defeated aside from smaller tactical battles. The US lost due to political pressure back home. Not to mention, North Vietnam was supported by China.

A better example is Syrian Civil War or the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.

How bout the Afghanis, who also won.

I think you'll find the tactic of "simply continue to exist between rear end whoopings until the invader gets tired and goes home" won't work in a civil war.

But it seems like political discontent and the unwillingness of an american army to fight would be greater, no? And I'm told that's what won Vietnam.

Armored cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
And we just let them because
You cannot fight an army
