[Raiden said,What?
This isn't Avatar; actual armed military would just Napalm everything and be done with it.

I NEVER SAID IT WAS AVATAR! Were you even ALIVE during VIETNAM?? You had an ill equipped force of mostly illiterates fighting a military that was armed with "rice paddy radar", airmobile howizers that fired "Beehive Rounds", TOTAL air superiority, ARMORED UNITS, NIGHT VISION, and the insurgents had small arms, and whatever boby traps they could make from the jungle. EXCEPT FOR THE ANIMALS, you have NO IDEA how close to Vietnam the battle scenes in Avatar were. You weren't BORN YET, and I WAS THERE, getting shot at.

As far as it being only being thugs and farmers sent in with the approval of the Government, the natives need to intimidate back.
