The Taliban didn’t have their home base on American soil. They were a significant distance overseas which created a lot of logistical barriers.

It’s the difference between walking next door to kill your neighbor and catching a flight to kill him while he’s on vacation.

If you think Texans can’t mount an insurgency that would turn extraordinarily bloody for both sides, you’re crazy. A significant part of the military would switch sides too, and we’d have a full blown civil war on our hands.

“A significant part of the military would switch sides too” So you think a large portion of the military would casually commit treason? The Military is built on following orders even when you don’t like them. Especially when you don’t like them. A bunch of hics LARPing as guerrilla fighters on American soil are not going to stand very long, at all. The red hats are a good target from 30,000 feet.

Yes because a substantial portion of them are red hats.

I wouldn’t have thought that many civilians would either but they did.
