How is the US military in the film like a rabble?

What is a bit suspicious about watching this film is that the US military in the film looks like a guerrilla.
I remember watching in The Patriots that the American colonies during the Revolutionary War could at least organize a decent army.
The Civil War that broke out more than 30 years after the Battle of the Alamo, from the perspective of "Gods and Generals", the Southern Army and the Northern Army also give people a very regular feeling.
Of course, maybe Texas was not yet part of the United States at the time, and the army was also a militia, right?

    What the film tries to downplay is that the immediate cause of the rebellion was the prohibition of slavery by the central government in Mexico.

    The old American historical film is a group of people with various interests and beliefs who keep arguing and refuting, and then a high-profile belief emerges, then a bloody battle, and then people die, the belief will last forever~

The Alamo quotes

  • William Travis: In a few days, all of Texas will know of our situation.

    James Bowie: Tell me, Buck, in Alabama, precisely how many is "a few"?

  • William Travis: Colonel, I became a little heated with you in front of your men. It was ill-advised and not terribly professional.

    James Bowie: Don't worry about it. Most of my men didn't even understand the words you were using.
