An endless supply of tattooed muscle-bound bearded para-military guys willing to die to mutants?

They're re-spawning at the checkpoint

It's just a fantasy.

LMAO. Yes. This crap keeps me from enjoying movies. At least in the 80s they made sure to explain how people were brainwashed believers in whatever the hell. This movie was terrible. Faceless villain army is angry because and stuff.

Private militaries exist and they have a lot of man power.
Academi AKA Black Water for example. Here is an image of an actual member on deployment(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Js-Pakistan.jpg). He looks almost exactly like the goons in this film.

I felt this aspect of the movie was kind of flawed. They were fighting these mutant kids but couldn't even control them. You would think they would have been better prepared. In the real world, mutants would not be second-class citizens, they would be gods. They would be highly paid mercs, not these clowns.

These are some incredibly dangerous people you're dealing with here. The fact that these mercs didn't seem to realize they were facing certain death fighting Wolverine and Laura is a bit crazy. I would have to imagine a team of Rangers, SEALS, Marines or Delta Force would have a smarter battle plan than the guys in this film.

The X-Men movies probably have the best showings for these sort of goons, though (at least compared to most movies). In X-2 and X-3, government agents captured or de-powered a lot of mutants. In Days of Future Past, it's explained that a lot of mutants from First Class died while in Vietnam, including Banshee and Emma Frost apparently.

The goons in Wolverine's movies don't have as much luck, but I'm guessing they like their chances.

I agree. It hurts suspension of disbelief. I know exactly why they do this: they want lots of cool chase scenes and fight scenes, and they need lots of disposable villains for this. But it's too over the top, and as I said, it hurts suspension of disbelief. This movie is by no means the only offender in this regard. The Netflix Marvel TV series, while pretty good overall, have this exact same problem: NONE of the bad guys ever run. Not one. Ever.

Bullshit!

There's a scene in the Luke Cage series where the titular hero steamrolls through a gang hideout, while listening to Wu-Tang Clan on his Ipod (why do film makers think it makes a hero more badass to listen to a personal soundtrack while fighting? They did it with Jessica Biel in the third blade movie, and they had the hero do it in that cheesy '80s action movie "Iron Eagle"). In this scene, these thugs just watch Luke Cage, who is bulletproof and super strong, tear through their club house like the fucking Terminator, they can't so much as put a scratch on him. And they ALL keep coming?

Bullshit!

DOZENS of these idiots keep right on advancing, guns blazing. Every one of them's got this "I'ma fuck you up!" expression on his face too. They've watched him literally tear through the structure of their building with bare hands; they've watched soak up bullets to NO effect, but not ONE of these assholes sees all this, realizes that little "nine" in his hand might as well be a squirt gun, and says "hey, I just remembered somewhere I gotta be!"

Yeah, I don't think so. It was the same with Daredevil, when he tore through a biker gang headquarters after the Punisher blew up some of their bikes. He's not bulletproof, but again, DOZENS of bad guys, they see him put one after another after another after another of their buddies down with injuries that will leave them in intensive care, and again, not ONE of them ever says "fuck this! I'm outta here!" It's too much.
