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?

    The movie is not bad, the key is to understand how Texas separated from Mexico and joined the history of the United States.

    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.
