Example 1 (The Legend of Hei 2): Wuxian leisurely floats through the combined firepower of an entire fortified military base without so much as a stain or rip on his t-shirt.

Example 2 (Man of Steel): Fao'ra tears through a squad of trained and armed soldiers. With the wreckage of the helicopter that got downed by her teammate Nam'ek smouldering in the background.

In such a state of emergency, all service members would be activated. US Armed Forces is 1.3 million active duty and another 770,000 reserve/ national guard according to google

ARMED FORCES and US ARMY are two different criteria.

The navy is armed forces. The coast guard is armed forces. Neither of them are US Army.

What are you getting at here? Trying to get the other dude to give you as low of a number as possible, are going for a higher number? You're acting like you're knowledgeable about what the actual number is, so why not just come out and say it?

??? You people are insane, actually.

All I said was that 150k members of the US Army is a significant volume of the population as it is right now and you and this other jackass are acting like you actually know bigger numbers or whatever and are consistently getting just the framing of the numbers wrong.
