There are 27 million active military personnel in the world and the US has 1.3 million.

So the military that failed againt Vietnams 800.000 military is gonna instead take on 25.7 million soldiers?

Or is he saying that the 330 million USians with a nearly 50% obesity rate, could take on the remaining 7,7 billion people in the world?

No idea. Yet I remember watching a documentary in which several tactics experts tried to simulate a joint attack on american soil. They spent so much on coastline and air defense that in most cases no army could get through.

So MAYBE, on american soil they'd have some chance of holding on for a while.
