There's also an unmanageably large amount of forest, hills, valleys, rivers, etc and sheer land mass they couldn't possible police / traverse effectively
I'll be generous with ~2mil troops (all branches AC + RC), so the population of columbus, oh roughly (32nd largest MSA).
And not all those troops can fight (planes, tanks require support), even in an emergency scenario
Stuff we already know, but the military would lose if any appreciable amount of the population got involved and the military wanted to keep any amount of infrastructure intact for after the conflict.
Sadly the military is about 50% incompetent at this point. There are so many useless support positions filled with diversity hires at this point.
The bad news is that a large chunk of our military will absolutely side with the government just like we can see with our friends over in many police departments. The good news is most of those people are completely inapt.
Yeah but the military's guns are a lot bigger and some of them are mounted on airplanes.
