So then the government just sends the military in to quell rebellions by unarmed/poorly-armed citizens.

Yeah, and they kill them and also some others, and some guy's wife. The guy takes up arms in revenge and the cycle continues.

It's not an open armed rebellion, it's constant terror attacks. How do you send in the military to quell a car bombing or an assassination?
