To the modern weapons angle: OK, so a little hyperbole is going a long way. Modern manufacturing - especially in China (I'm looking at you, WalMart and Target) is easy. Arming that many people wouldn't be tough; shoot, I know some Americans who could nearly do so with what's in their basements. (More hyperbole, but not much.)

My ultimate point is this: If there's a lesson from land wars in Asia, it's this - if we fight them with our rules, we lose - big.
