Anybody who was actually planning on using the US Armed Forces would not have proposed making service members pay for their medical care via private insurance.
First rule of tyranny is make sure your military is better fed and cared for than the populace.

I am ex- military. I hope you are right. Although the governor end- around in the stimulus plan could open up the National Guard. Listen, this is worst case scenario. After 9-11 laws were put into place for more involvement of the military with “national emergencies”. I think civil unrest would be considered as such. It has happened once and if you read The Bible, read Lamentations 4. Until it happened to Israel, everyone said it couldn’t.

These guys have got all sorts of Grand and Glorious Plans, but I don't think they've really thought everything all the way through.

Oh, I would imagine Obama’s brownshirts will be better fed and cared for than the populace. - I don’t know what they’re doing really, and what’s more I wonder if THEY know what they’re doing.

He is not counting on the military to further his domestic agenda — they’ll mutiny first, and he knows it. Instead he’s constituting his Civilian Security Force for that purpose. Civil War is a certainty unless he is stopped, which won’t happen politically.

And anyone who thinks the military would wholeheartedly support this corrupt government is wrong. I have nephews in the army right now that would come home and stand with thier families right now, and I’ll bet many others would too.
