Understood, but you have to realize those references were in regard to circumstances not relevant today, I’d expect.
We are in a radically different situation now with a government gone wild with power that pays no heed to its laws or Constitution.
Actually, somewhat similar comments were made about the government at the time of the Whiskey Rebellion, Reconstruction after the Civil War, and when President Eisenhower sent the 82nd Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1958.
I agree that the current executive has “out-shown” all of the previous.
And for those interested in history, the Army’s Center of Military History has nearly all of its publications available online in .pdf or html format.
