The Army National Guard consists of 28 fully capable brigade combat teams with combat support and combat service support components. (An infantry brigade is around 4400 personnel.) The Army Reserve is mostly Combat Service Support and Combat Support with only one infantry unit (the 100th Infantry Battalion)

The Army, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, and Air Force Reserve components are not under state control and are solely funded by the federal government.

The projected active duty end strength in the armed forces for FY 2017 was 1,281,900 people,[4] with an additional 801,200 people in the seven reserve components.

In 2008, federal police employed approx. 120,000 full-time law enforcement officers, authorized to make arrests and carry firearms in the United States.[38] The 2012 Bureau of Justice Statistics' Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA), found there were 17,985 state and local law enforcement agencies employing at least one full-time officer or the equivalent in part-time officers.[39] In 2008, state and local law enforcement agencies employed more than 1.1 million people on a full-time basis, including about 765,000 sworn personnel (defined as those with general arrest powers). Agencies also employed approximately 100,000 part-time employees, including 44,000 sworn officers. That's about 3,5 million armed federal, state, and local personnel.

The Cities are the weak point. Blow the water lines. Blow the electric transmission lines. Blow the Bridges. Blow the roads and rail roads.

Liberal America will die, and the US Military could do nothing much to stop it.

They can't guard the infrastructure which is necessary to keep Liberal America alive. Once Liberal America is dead or screaming for mercy, the political power will automatically shift back to the right.
