“Civil breakdown is the military’s specialty.”
A 1.3 million military cannot and will not control a country the size of the US. They exist to extend themselves to many more millions during wartime. If this country falls to civil conflict there will be little to offer in logistics to provide for that military. The military today isn’t the military of WWI. Every warfighter today needs massive logistics behind them.
You forget that many in the military side with the savages. This isn’t the military of yesterday where few liberals existed. They are here, queer, proud, and in charge. Who says you get to stay on the base if the leadership demands loyalty to ‘the cause’.
Entire divisions of the British Army could not find or subdue a couple 100 “active IRA” during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The IRA could have easily turned off the power grid on a weekly basis, if that had been their desire. Or sniped at food delivery trucks.
The Brits quit and went home when the IRA took their campaign to London.
Northern Ireland (Ulster) is 2 million people on 8,000 square miles. That’s the size of New Jersey, which has 4X the population.
The British Army quit and went home.
The US military could not in a thousand years save or restore order to or feed a dozen imploding “American Beiruts.”
