Its beyond delusional to think that you can uproot the entire structure of the U.S. military without it having detrimental effects on their cohesion. That you can trample upon their very traditions (which are extremely important to an army) without paying any kind of price for that.

It really doesn't matter how many gold plated weapons systems the U.S. military has. They are a dysfunctional force that is becoming increasingly compromised by human and organisational factors. If these problems are allowed to fester, they will result in a loss of fighting power.

Is this a cope or something?There is no chance in any kind of uprising against the military.

Even with better tools, tools are only as good as its users. The browning of the government and military will make it less and less possible to enforce sovereignty across vast swathes of America. A long drawn out insurgency as seen in third world countries is inevitable as America descends to that status

You dont need some super strong military to supress rebellion and dissent. You can do that with intelligence gathering and surveillance, 24/7 media propaganda, cancel culture, a corrupt court system and aggressive targeted use of law enforcement, and those things are only going to be increasingly used to suppress dissent.

The US system wont collapse through open armed rebellion. It will do so through financial and economic mismanagement, corruption, crumbling infrastructure and societal dysfunction, open discrimination and oppression of your most productive members of society, and a lack of faith in the system. The Soviet Union collapsed without a shot being fired. A similar fate is increasingly likely in the US.
