Let's say the southerners of the USA do start a war against the federal government, what are the odds of them actually achieving anything? Would parts of the military defect with gear? Would they be able to take over and control territories?
Pretty much. Though even then, you'd see a LOT of dissent within the military if said president did side with them.
Thanks for breaking it down in a way I can understand
Are we forgetting how long its taken for a huge multinational coalition to fight guys hiding in caves with guns from the 1940's?
No. Bushwick.
Not to derail, but what is even the point of the 2nd ammendment in modern days, given that it provides like 0 resistance against like the slightest military effort?
As a southerner that has no interest in leaving the union, this question confuses me.

Any militia rising against the largest army in the history of mankind will be fucking crushed so fast I almost would love to see it be tried. Almost.
Not sure if serious with this. You know how much has changed with technology, data, and our military right? And how different the geography of the US is compared to Vietnam?I'd think they would lose, just depends on how many southerners rise up (doubt the US army would massacre everyone).
Also would they try to break off the US or conquer it?
The Vietcong won though?
Yes because the US government and military would allow it to happen initially. And a lot of white people would be sympathetic. Because they're misguided but one of the boys.
Any other group would be smashed within seconds
I can see this happening. Look at what happened with the Bundy Standoff and the occupation that happened after that. In the case of the latter they were allowed to take over a federal building and hold a town hostage for over a month before they surrendered.The government and police are petrified of another Waco and would probably give them free reign to terrorize minorities with the leaders and most dangerous being arrested by DHS depending on how much news they are generating.
