I wanted a video, but couldn't find one.

You used to be able to get a special dispenser that would hand you a lit cigarette as you drove.

It pays to read up on how the Viet Cong actually fought.
They seldom wanted a stand up fight against the more heavily armed Americans; they relied on stealth and evasion.
An IED is a much better weapon than a rifle.

Why QT in particular?
Justified revenge is a staple of every action movie, ever.
Which just makes it sillier.
Why would they take Virginia? And the surveillance system has multiple redundancies, including satellites and NATO allies.
NYPD has 50,000 officers. that's not counting Port Authority Police, USPS Police, other Federal and State officers.
A C-130 plane can carry about 100 troops.
The 'USSR' would need a thousand planes to take one city.
I'm pretty sure someone would notice 100 thousand military aircraft flying across Europe headed to America.
No.
The biggest thing is that there's no reason to invade the US homeland. The "Enemy" would use first strike nuclear armed missiles and not bother with boots on the ground.
But even if you allowed the basis of the movie, there's still a huge problem. The kind of rebellion shown only works if there's another, bigger country supporting the rebels.
General Washington didn't beat the British; the French Navy did. The French resistance didn't kick out the Nazis; the Allied invasion at Normandy did. The Viet Cong had plenty of aid coming in.
According to the movie, Europe was completely controlled by the USSR and China had been nuked. Guns and bullets are expensive, and those kids could have only stored away enough for a few weeks of hunting, not a decades long war.
