All true/correct.

It is worth considering that some DoD systems only have whitelisted CAs installed to limit the ability for an adversary to MitM. For example a DoD laptop used in a foreign country, you don't want the foreign government to be able to issue a certificate for a DoD property using their CA (or pressure/steal a commercial CA's signing certificate).
