Even if you taught yourself and a few friends how to operate a tank, you'd just do a few million dollars in damages and maybe get a few casualties before they take you out with a shaped charge or missile. Far more damage would be done by sabotaging a few power stations. It would be weeks before they could restore power if it was done right, and thousands could die from riots. And you could possibly even get away with your lives in the confusion. Taking over a military base is just digging yourself in a hole that is soon to be a crater.
