Then again, look at what's happening in Syria. Seems the civilian population is taking on their government. The government is kicking their asses - you can't use a rifle against planes dropping bombs - but the yet they are still going strong.

What happens is a large amount of the military will refuse to fire on its own people which is a point the "you cant win a war against the govt" crowd loves to ignore. Half the fucking military ends up fighting with the civilians with the military equip they bailed with.
