  Try running tanks or planes without fuel, parts or ammo production. Covid was a little inconvenience compared to the supply chain nightmare a war could bring. It takes a TON of upkeep to keep a military rolling.

  What does this even mean? That a private citizen is going to have better access to fuel, parts and ammo than the government?!?

    No, but the US military has never had their homeland logistics fucked with in recent history. Sure you can’t easily destroy a Bradley APC, but it needs fuel that happens to be stored and transported in ways that are not as resistant to attack. And when the fuel runs out many vehicles are no longer useful in combat.

    Or parts. Germany got their industries bombed like crazy. Even though their stuff was better on paper they didn’t have the parts to keep combat effective.

    This is all hypothetical and all but it’s not that big of a stretch of the imagination to see an insurgency become a real pain in the ass over months and years
