There is a reason a bunch of ragheads with AK47s can be dangerous to even our military which is the most advanced ever in recorded history.
Yeah, its cause the US isn't interested in glassing them from the face of the earth with nukes (which has always been an option). The US has always had the power to utterly annihilate everyone in those ridiculous little proxy wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq. It just decided that the gains weren't worth the downsides, and sent troops instead.
That being said, if the government and military were corrupt enough to justify open rebellion with guns, you think they would be scared of murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians in the process of getting to their enemies? "Oh, I'm an evil despotic regime determined to hold onto power, but I'm too scared to commit a few atrocities to keep my skin intact, I guess my people with tanks and gunships will just lay over and die while righteous citizens with glocks and berettas kick down my door!"

The biggest and easy point to make to refute everything you've said is to begin with military personnel are also citizenry.
Yeah, history has NEVER had a corrupt regime supported by a corrupt military before! We all know that not a single corrupt government has ever had direct military support! When ISIS came around, they just took over everything WITHOUT guns and troops! Gee golly whiz, that's realistic.
