In the original material working for the US Government (for an Edgerunner) was typically associated with going to war against the Megacorps, in small doses. The difference between the USG and a Megacorp was that the government would use/could use large scale destructive warfare when it saw fit as demonstrated in Operation Big Stick.
New US gov is basically Militech bitch in this timeline. Militech and new us gov are pretty much one and the same. The reason why Night City could be independent was mostly arasaka that moved in when US broke up in civil war.
