Yeah, pretty much what it seems like they think. The military technically doesn't have the right to be used against the citizens at all. It's for foreign and defense purpose. The national guards are run by the states and are essentially the state militia for these purposes. They have no obligation to protect the US government at all. One of the reasons that led to DC being the capital is that way back Pennsylvania refused to send their militia to defend the federal government from the populace.
But to leftists these rules are all just paper and the military is just a tool to be used against dissidents that refuse to give in.
Believing in maintaining strong, combat ready military == wanting the military to run the country.
They don't actually know any conservatives so they just make them up whole cloth.
