Oh and the US is far from being the strongest military power in the world...

I am former military; I know exactly what the military is. I understand that a percentage of the military will "defect". Those who do defect will leave the military, return home, mostly empty handed, and two weeks or a month later will be armed with a assault rife if he's lucky and going up against tanks and planes - that can kill hundreds from miles away. Keep in mind those in the military are sworn to defend the constitution and the office of the President, not attack it.
Oh, and yes, the US is the strongest military in the world. The only country who comes close is China, and they don't even have a white water navy so that makes them utterly worthless. Perhaps you missed what the US military has done in the past twenty years - We invaded countries and QUICKLY removed entire governments with very small losses.
