If the government failed and there was chaos, food./water and guns/ammo would be the only real commodities that would be desired. Gasoline heat would also be necessary for travel but if the US military were deployed on the citizenry, we would be crushed like ants.

I hear many active and former military people are on our side, but as Commander in Chief, he could force them to engage citizenry, if “provoked”.

......."he could force them to engage citizenry, if “provoked".....

"Force" is a relative term. I'm not sure a real patriot could be forced to perform anti American acts. aka Patrick Henry.
