And they won't be.
Back in the day of bolt actions and single aimed shots? Yeah. Training matters a lot.
In the era of semi automatic rifles with high capacity magazines? Just aim at a crowd and squeeze a few times and you'll get a couple kids.
Let's break down the Call of Duty wank fantasy, shall we?
Again. Maybe we should discuss reality and not just thank Rambo for his service before he draws first blood for the fifteenth time?
The military aspect of this doesn't make much of a safety difference because of all the other horrifically stupid decisions this country has made over the past century or so. What matters are that people are losing their homes. And maybe, just maybe, we should think about why one class of people get basically UBI but the rest of the country doesn't.
You've obviously never served in the military. The things I know how to do as a guerrilla should be very worrying to any government.
Strategy is a basic tool taught to all soldiers from front lines to generals. The difference is only in scale of operation for higher ranks. You'd have all ranks in a veteran army so this isn't really a problem anyways. You need generals and grunts in a guerrilla situation.
Explosives training that I have is for improvised explosives. I don't need c4 to be a threat.
Communications training that we have makes it easier for us to escape detection by normal wiretapping and signals interception.
Logistics would be more that we know what things are important in a battle and what things aren't. People who haven't been to war don't know what they need.
As for opsec we all learn it, but that doesn't mean everyone will follow it all the time. A few percent of idiots exist in all jobs, not just the military so you're always going to have leaks. But as long as you're cracking down on it in a guerrilla operation you should be fine. Just make sure you have cells that don't know everyone else in other cells and you'll be ok for an operation or two.
This is all just off the top of my head after having been out for more than a decade. In a real situation you'd have a bunch of veterans getting back into the flow of operating militarily and that would be very very bad for the government since we would bounce ideas off each other.
