This is a somewhat poor example. we're talking about a group of people that did not WANT a fight. They repelled the first assault, effectively I might add, but then made many attempts to avoid violence.
On top of all of that, you had the DoJ in a rush to conclude the siege in any manner possible because of the mounting anger and possible backlash of hundreds of Texans who were outraged at what the feds were doing. If the feds had let that siege go on another couple of weeks, they would have been facing a much larger armed force NOT sitting inside that compound.
