The thing is they’re fucking over everyone military included, sure they could theoretically give guns to untrained morons but that’s only so effective. Also I kinda doubt there are enough mud boots to lock down LA let alone every city. There may be a million active military personnel but a solid majority of that is support staff that would be hard to shift around if not impossible.
That’s all just looking at the basic military aspect. Plenty of them own property but that’s kinda meaningless if the enforcement mechanics also break down. I doubt any of them have billions in physical assets and yet again would any of it be worth anything could they enforce their ownership properly or would their own security start stripping the copper from the walls.
Also when empires collapse it’s never for one reason, and the US has many reasons. Don’t believe the hype of the rich, they have nothing of worth short of their organs in a collapse scenario of any type.
