Our guns wouldn't do shit against tanks and armoured troop carriers.

well the last time I checked our country was remarkably unsuccessful in controlling Iraq, and a good number of the population there did NOT support the ruling government at the time of the invasion and pretty much let our troops in... you're comparing apples and oranges.
Most people here would not welcome an invading force, do support the government, and would be willing to defend the lands. "Fat guys taking pot shots with hunting rifles" would also be known as snipers if they were wearing a uniform
