2,000 insurgents vs 25,000 army brigades - this is 12.5 times more forces.

If US airforce took out all the heavy weapons of the 2,000 insurgents such as arty, armour, rocket, heavy machine gun post - the insurgents will only have 2,000 guns vs 25,000 guns plus heavy weapons such as arty, missile, heavy machine gun, armor, rocket.

12.5 person (with heavy weapons) surround 1 person - cannot win?

What the 12.5 persons need is - gut, courage.
