They fail to realise that most of us know more about the military and how the equipment and manpower works.
We know MREs arent filled in factories by magic, that food is grown.
We know that your F15, your Bradley and your M1 is bulletproof to 5.56, but the tanker trucks hauling fuel isn't.
A lot of guys out there know damned well a sufficient amount of fertilizer will flip a Abrams upside down.
The guys flying and driving, they live either on or near base, and when they are busy killing people in fly-over states, their families are at home alone.
Your F15 and tank is nice and all, but someone has to get on the ground and do foot patrols. And everybody's gangster, until the cornfields start speaking redneck.
Even this assumes tanks planes and helicopters could pinpoint one side. That only happens if there's large concentration of force, like so many have been clamoring for. That's bad strategy. Our side needs to learn from insurgents.
It also assumes they would be the only ones with that equipment, and that there wouldnt be at least a few defectors (or even a ton of defectors, since a lot of the Combat Arms have been aggressively rejecting the Woke push, and its not like POGs and REMF are fighters). Hell, you can probably even throw in State National Guard units, unless you really expect me to believe the Texas or Florida National Guard would fight their states they swear allegiance to.
But even ignoring that, the quote still holds true:
"Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics."- Gen. Omar Bradley (maybe)

THIS. During the 1st civil war NG straight bounced from states they aren't from, even took ships and other supplies with them.
