And all these men are part of your local militia and have signed on to your plan to cut off cities and take control of an autonomous region? I have no doubt they can defend their property and their neighbors should it come down to it. But you are mistaking self-defense with taking the offense. In the situation you are describing the current military will be gone and any military retiree with less then 30 years would be recalled especially those with special skills. We are obligated for thirty years and subject to Congressional recall if we retire. Where does that leave you with volunteers for your militia to cutoff the highways while simultaneously protecting their homes and families?
The area I live in is 80% or more prior military, everything from SEALS, MARSOC, RECON, Grunts and POGS. You do not want to come into this area to cause trouble and invade property it will not end well. But, taking the offense and going back into battle with a militia against an armed opponent. I not sure how many of the operators would be willing to do that let alone the POGS.

They’ll be lucky if half of them show up.

Best defense is a good offence.
WHO is going to recall the retired military? We’re talking a breakdown of civil authority here. There wont’ be a recall much less any ability to enforce one if called. NO ONE is going to leave their families to go fight someplace else when their families are in a fight.
