Of course native people didn’t call themselves Indian prior to settlers assigning them that name, with legal consequences. But native people usually refer to their tribe identity, like Diné or Lakota, rather than the generic term Indian.

The irony in your example is the modern Pentagon is largely a collection of private companies.

Everything is eventually private. Each employee is a private individual. That doesn't matter. What matters is how money is collected, and if it's forced out of people by tax, instead of being handed over voluntarily, there's no incentive to be good.

A collection of private companies contracted and administered by government.

Comparing it to GDP doesn’t seem to make sense. Maybe to government revenue.

No, the claim was that it has outgrown the private sector. GDP is in fact a good proxy for that claim.

Outgrowing government revenue is a different claim.

No, it does make sense. Most of the purported growth in government spending is just using raw figures, and not correcting for either inflation or monetary expansion. It is a convenient mistake.
