Wow gaining modern equipment! Here is a partial list of currently active U.S. Military land vehicles.

Probably you won't have time to read all of that, because the list is fucking enormous. I'll give a few highlights though.
M1 Abrams Tanks: 6,344
Bradley Fighting Vehicle: 6,724
Humvee: 260,000 (Do they even have 200,000 soldiers?)
That's to say nothing of our airforce, or large nuclear arsenal. This is something that we can have because we have a functioning economy and a unified populace, none of whom are engaged in a civil war with us. I don't think we have to worry about ISIS overthrowing the US government anytime soon.
