“The military does have the most weapons and equipment doesn’t it? “
Not even close.
There are over 300 million private arms in the US, at least 40 million of which are “assault weapons”.
Private business also has more explosives on hand than the combined US military.
Not to mention all the private vehicles, machine shops, lathes, welders...all sort and every kind of machine tool and industrial equipment.
It took 150,000 US troops to “defeat” about 10,000 terrorists in Iraq. Iraq is about the size of Kalifornia.
