Reminds me of the tea party protesters that had signs like: "Keep your government hands off my medicare!" at Obamacare rallies.

I think you should go read my comment again. I'm not talking about my beliefs, I'm talking about the claims of those experiencing it.
If you want to tell my friend who was terribly pleased with his heart surgery courtesy of the military that he's worthy of buying a bridge, go for it, but I don't think he's going to be pleased.
So because the government feeds its soldiers it would be hypocritical or illogical to rail against nationalizing farms and supermarkets?
If the government did a good job of feeding its soldiers such that every time you get a government meal you're talking about how great it is, it would be inconsistent to say that government-provided meals are a disaster and that nationalizing meals would make everything related to it terrible.
I think a lot of these people just subconsciously see "the government" as simply not including the security apparatus.
