Yes to all of the above, and I will also add that the founders of this country had an aversion to creating a standing army at all. They had seen all military's in the past used to violate the rights of the people instead of defending them. Their solution was the State's Militia, that came together voluntarily to defend the country when needed. These State Militias were not necessarily beholden to whoever held power at the time. The country had long since created a standing army when this program to place these National Guards/Militias under federal control was enacted, thus removing any viable defense against a military takeover of the country. Given the nature of the increasingly villainous people we keep electing to power, it is only a matter of time before one of them successfully takes control of the army in order to take control of the country, just like Julius Caesar did to Rome 2,000 years ago.

Comparison of Wilson and Obama is spot-on. Both were collectivists, statists, and hypocrites.
