No. Just because you say it doesn't make it so. When Gerinkh Yagoda joined like-minded war criminals, no one held a gun to his head. All they used were words.
Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve System into law, and the sole means of getting him to do that were words and votes. Nobody held a gun to his head.
My point is exactly that military power is unnecessary to create oppression. Our words and votes here are backed with threats of financial assault. Just ask @krnel.
