False.

The fact that they have alot of them doesn't automaticly mean that they are part of a military. It could just be a police paramilitary operation if you want to get technical(paramilitary is a quickly gathered up military-like force for a short while usually for defending a country from attack. Basicly a temporary army, but technically not a real army) the person who responded to you is right and wrong, in the show, there aren't millions or even thousands of ponies existing so the numbers could just be relative to the current population. But I agree that they are more like the Praetoria (bodyguards) of Rome.
