Mostly in rural areas - striking into high population, target-rich environments, while retreating into the rural/wilderness areas.
And let's be clear - the 'federal police force' will be far from organized, given you can expect increasingly-high attrition rates due to loss in the field, desertion and changing sides. And that's not even mentioning all the sabotuers, spies, plants, moles, etc in their ranks - you don't think everyone is just going to walk out into the woods, do you? Of course not - many will stay right where they are, and do everything in their (oft considerable) power to fuck up the plans of the 'federal police force'.
Again, you show how little you understand the situation - there are myriad alternative means of communication which can be employed - the internet is anything but requisite.
As already stated, the internet will only aid our cause - it will anger the people not presently on our side, drive people to action who would otherwise be pacified by internet media and the like, and inhibit the effective communication of the 'federal police force' (for if the internet isn't merely deactivated, it can be accessed - and a great many of our people have the means to do exactly that).
Totally inapplicable, as the context has totally changed and neither of those is a civil engagement.
Absolutely hysterical.
Again, you're talking about a drastically-out numbered federal police force, driving its soldiers to attack and kill the populace (their opposition often being civilians under the leadership of a fellow veteran or squad thereof), every action it takes to inhibit the communication of its opposition likewise hampering its own capacity for such communication.
By the heaps lad - you wouldn't believe the sort of hardware that is in private hands, let alone what will be captured in short-order from military installations scattered across the continental US.
MANPADs? Son, in short order, the 'federal police forces' will have to be looking over their shoulders constantly for Predator drones and the like.
There's really no need for there to be a difference - the US got our assholes bleached in Afghanistan m80.
Just like the Soviets did.
Both efforts were a total failure - and, just like both of those efforts, you would see significant aid being slipped into the US to combat the 'federal police force'.
Of course there would be!
Again, you demonstrate how lacking you are in the context of this scenario - there would be INNUMBERABLE civilians who, while not willing to be directly involved in the conflict, ARE willing to sabotage and provide aid to the rebels (as has been the case in basically every civil armed uprising in human history).
The big difference will be that, this time, the villagers would be EVEN MORE likely to play both sides - because one side is a 'federal police force' and the other is their brother, sister, father, mother, best friend, that guy they knew in highschool/college, the guy they used to work with, their buddy from the bar, etc etc etc.
