You can believe that if it makes you feel better, I just know based off what I see through my work with military contractors that no group here has any chance what so ever to be more than a nuisance (resist for a while). The government has facial recognition software so good that it can pick you out of crowds of thousands of people using the cameras on the streets, cell phones, and traffic lights, etc. in seconds. Our government is actually better equipped to fight a war here more so than any other place in the world due to their infrastructure of tech here to easily find and eliminate targets. This tech doesn't get rolled out for normal police investigations because it is expensive to use the cloud computing resources required, but if the federal government wanted to find someone today they could within the hour. This doesn't even include the fleet of satellites and drones that would be unleashed here constantly surveying looking for targets if this was the most important issues at hand. You can't use history to compare because no time in history has the U.S. ever needed to apply it's full attention to a front for self preservation like would be required in this scenario. Between technology and focus, there is no historical comparison to even begin to use as an example of a similar situation.
Even if I grant you every single one of your points, which I won't and I don't think anyone with military experience would, it still doesn't account for the will of the military to turn their weapons on their own people. If you think there would be blind acceptance of such a situation then I don't know what to tell you. As for making me feel better, it doesn't. Such a scenario would be horrible.
