That was a combination of guns, explosives, and widespread military and civilian resistance in an area that the United States doesn’t feel a need to hold. Armed resistance in Iowa went very differently
Your argument is weak when the end results of both wars were the same: while one side had overwhelming numbers of tactically trained fighters with advanced equipment, advanced technology and a government supporting with infinite money, the other side won anyways and was simply a bunch of fucking farmers with AKs.
The Vietnamese peasants and afghans were using more than just guns and the reason the US left wasn’t failure but loss of will to expend resources. The Vietnamese people elected Ho Chi Minh and resisted colonialism. The afghan people resisted colonialism at every turn. The American empire didn’t seem to hold either land, just to turn it over to an allied government.
No amount of violence will cause the United States to cede shit. The closest to what you’re talking about is stuff like Harlan County. But remember the civil war too
I’m all for arming ourselves but without delusion. Once you shoot a cop or soldier you’re dead. Maybe it’s worth it, maybe it isn’t, but be aware.

I’d rather be “free” in Canada without the $2000 and mounting medical bills I’m dealing with here in #1.
I’ve got $10,000. I got air medivacced to a hospital where I have no coverage.
That really sucks. I’m very sorry to hear it.
Owning guns doesn’t make you free dipshit. You and your militia buddies could do fuck all if the government decides to oppress you for real.
Vietnam and Afghanistan beg to differ.

You don’t know what freedom is if you think freedom is what you get in the USA.
