If this country falls into revolution or civil war, the military on our side will be fractured with no command structure or organization. It'll be every state for itself AT BEST - more likely every small group for themselves.
If states secede and form a new union against, let's say, the New England states - and war occurs - it will be a different picture. The new union would have it's own army with it's own organization in place.
Also consider: a lot of people have been talking about how if commies start stealing guns, and a revolt/civil war breaks out, we can't trust soldiers to step back and do the right thing - this is probably true. But I'd argue it's not because all of them are bad people, but because they are all conditioned to follow commands, and to be part of a larger unit - not to cast that aside on their own.
However, if a soldier from Texas saw his state secede, and join with 20+ other states, who formed their own army, he would have a much more comfortable time transitioning from one army to another, rather then from one army to the unorganized chaos of a revolution.
Will it not be already?
I think the inverse is actually true.
