"I don't need to present evidence.."

"because I'm rational and you're not"

This is an actual argument presented by a poster over on Tom King's blog when pressed to present evidence that a militia could not stand up to a modern military. I presented numerous examples from the last fifty years including Iraq and Afganistan. The response was avoidances, insults, and histrionics.

His closest defender presents examples from 150 years ago (The US Civil War) and two examples where the irregulars were helped w/ (guess what) primarily small arms.

One would think that an alleged Phd student of history would be able to defend his claims w/ actual history.
