The irony is that the Bushmaster these RBKA fanatics claim to die to keep is already obsolete

53. And here I thought militaristic fantasies of the unbeatable uber-army were a right-wing thing.

Drones remain crappy tools for fighting a home insurgency for the exact same reason that a military fighting such a conflict should not send out jets armed with guided bombs. Dropping bombs in any environment except a very isolated target is massively destructive. Using bombs in suburbia, or urban areas, is about as close as you can get to tactical insanity if you're fighting an insurgency. Any "shock and awe" terror you inspire in the insurgents is cancelled out by the sheer level of public horror inspired when the bombs inevitably start hitting completely innocent people.

Personally I like the stuxnet virus
Good point. I'll be sure to tell the right-wing crazies across the street to turn off their uranium-refining operations.

the nanobots that just make the bad guys surrender
Which exist as a DARPA dream at the moment. And if, in your hypothetical scenario, the military is fighting with weapons that don't actually exist in working form, why can't our hypothetical insurgents fight back with nonexistent weapons? You'll never stop Glenn Beck once he starts up his Star Destroyer.
