Aren't there some assumptions here about the level of force the
invaders will use? Soviet doctrine, in suppressing the Budapest
uprising in 1956, was "one shot from a building, level the building.
Many shots from a building, level the block." A much more humane
force, the 82nd Airborne in Detroit is 1967, was not seriously
inconvenienced by urban shooters.

....was not seriously inconvenienced by a *very* few urban shooters, who
weren't really defending their homes from invasion.

Another advantage modern Americans would have in an invasion situation
would be the startling amount of useful information available to the
average citizen. Given a few organizers, you'd literally have to level
an American city to "pacify" it with any reasonable certainty.
