Remind me again of how much the RAF and Royal Navy were able to bring their considerable force to bear in The Troubles.
I grant that the stereotypical militia types we have now are idiots, but gravy seals aren't the only potential resistance that could crop up to a truly tyrannical government. Any serious resistance to the US government isn't going to be trying to go toe to toe with either of those branches. In fact, they'd rarely go toe to toe with any serious force.
Remember, for all its power, the US military isn't built to be an occupation force, especially of a country the size of ours. It is also highly doubtful that the entire force would be super enthusiastic about the mission.
Beyond that, keep in mind that a resistance or underground or whatever doesn't have to eventually seize full control. They may have more limited goals that don't require besting the US military in the field.
