Outside of serious geopolitical circles, the left is the only group cognizant enough to realize how far US manufacturing and military power has fallen. So many people see our insane military budget and assume that it means our military is that much better than the next guy's. They're not thinking that the same decay that's been happening to everything else has hit the army too.
It's probably even worse than that, they probably think it would be the Russian and/or Chinese military doing the global commie-fascist genocide despite simultaneously thinking that already destroyed the entire Russian army and that the Chinese military tech is all made out of tofu
Wild they think the US can afford to extend itself any more than it already has.
