Also, don't forget the adage that every Marine is a rifleman first. Everyone in the Army goes through the same basic training and the same (sh*tty) yearly quals. Any idiot can pull guard duty while the frontline soldiers do their job. You should know that.
only about 10% of military is infantry. Almost
NONE of air force, or Navy is, and they are a HUGE chunk of military, not many of Army are, either. There's lots of Marines who are cooks, mechanics, etc, ya know. shtf, the military bases will be SWARMING with politicians, celebrities, and the wealthy, all wanting "protection from the rabble". Most of the military won't have a CLUE how to provide it, either. Even if they WANTED to do so. Women and kids crawliing all over the place. 
Lots of fires, sniping, sabotage, etc, all over the country, military aint going to be able to do crap about it, either.
