What if aliens come by and fix everything, including assassinating the fascist with legal command of the military.

That's a near supermajority of the veterans, including the dipshits who volunteered for Bush's Crusade. The troops are younger, dumber, and in the middle of professional standard bootlicker training.

There's enough sane vets to form a training core for the Army of the Republic in that civil war but it'll be nasty.

(My weaksauce scenario is unrealistic but still the best explanation for why the army would need to train shooting at Cybertrucks. Other than, you know, obvious grift.)
