I would agree that the US military is "weakened and vulnerable"...
But that's not saying America is "weakened and vulnerable".

Not yet anyway.
This is a big IF... The U.S.A. gets involved in a war with Iran, and potentially with Syria while radical islamists some how obtain nuclear devices and detonate them inside the U.S.A. in cities such as Washington or New York City... a series of potentially paralyzing attacks which could bring economic collapse failures in government and leadership of this nation combined with an already spread thin military... again can you imagine just how weakened and vulnerable we'd be?

So, would that be correct that you're suggesting citizens (based on arms, or whatever) of U/S aren't weakened and vulnerable and can be able to take over the government if they wish to do so to this day?

What if the President of U/S orders to execute the citizens and such?

Do you also mean that U/S Military cannot stop the amount of large gangs that exist in America?

Personally I think the US dug itself into this hole.

WE, as in your everyday red blooded American, did not dig our own hole.
Presuming that you are not actually ignorant enough to desire war with the United States, you might be well advised to read the history of the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana harbor in 1898 and the history of the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964.
Having done so, you will surely recognize that Americans are reluctant to go to war unless attacked. Until Pearl Harbor, we were even reluctant to get involved in World War II. For historians of American wars the question is whether we provoke provocations.
Russia and China opposed an early move to tighten economic sanctions, saying Tehran should be given more time to cooperate with the IAEA to shed light on its past activities
But the six scientists _ whose backgrounds include elite American universities, research labs and high levels of government _ said in interviews that Russia's concerns are justified.
"The claim by the Missile Defense Agency is not correct," says Theodore Postol, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a longtime missile defense critic. "And it is hard to understand how they could get something so basic wrong."

I am just so incredibly frustrated with Americans being the "evil" in the world, American's do not want war, we do not want to be invaded, we do not want to die, we just want to live. It is our oppresive government lackys and that shadowy other group, NOT AMERICAN'S.

America may indeed be over-extended. Yet we are also coming a long way in tightening a noose around Russia.
