you have simply sloshed together unrelated cases to try to make an
obscure point.  
I stand by my earlier point.  Modern Concentration camps are used for
the roundup of  political "enemies" of the regime.  They do not include
military clearances, Indian reservations, etc.  They are the subject of
new international treaties in time of war

concentration camp

internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or
minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security,
exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military
order. Persons are placed in such camps often on the basis of
identification with a particular ethnic or political group rather than
as individuals and without benefit either of indictment or fair trial.
Concentration camps are to be distinguished from prisons interning
persons lawfully convicted of civil crimes and from prisoner-of-war
camps in which captured military personnel are held under the laws of
war. They are also to be distinguished from refugee camps or detention
and relocation centres for the temporary accommodation of large numbers
of displaced persons.

During war, civilians have been concentrated in camps to prevent them
from engaging in guerrilla warfare or from providing aid to enemy
forces, or simply as a means of terrorizing the populace into
submission. During the South African War (1899-1902) the British
confined noncombatants of the republics of Transvaal and Cape Colony in
concentration camps. Another instance of interning
noncombatant civilians occurred shortly after the outbreak of
hostilities between Japan and the United States (Dec. 7, 1941), when
more than 100,000 Japanese and Japanese-Americans on the
West Coast were taken into custody and placed in camps in the
interior. (See Executive Order 9066.)

Political concentration camps instituted primarily to reinforce the
state's control have been established in various forms under many
totalitarian regimes--most extensively in Nazi Germany and the
Soviet Union. To a considerable extent, the camps served as the special
prisons of the secret police. Nazi concentration camps were under the
administration of the SS; forced-labour camps of the
Soviet Union were operated by a succession of organizations beginning in
1917 with the Cheka and ending in the early 1990s with the KGB. (See
National Socialism.)

EXCERPT: " VIEQUES, Puerto Rico—Almost 30 years ago, I served a
three-month federal sentence for interrupting the U.S. Navy's military
maneuvers in the Puerto Rican island-municipality of Culebra. As in
Culebra then, the Navy has been conducting military exercises in
Vieques, Puerto Rico's other island-municipality, for almost 60 years.
Puerto Rican residents have been threatened by the Navy's bombardment
and squeezed into a narrow strip of land. Once more, I am defying
federal authorities from a Navy firi..."

If they don't expect to be in a conflict they can just
have a coast guard to rescue sinking ships or inderdict
smugglers.

The PROBABILITY of a conflict seems irrelevant to the size
and capabilities of the navy.      That makes as much sense
as sizing a seatbelt according to the probability of my being in
a car crash.   I weigh 173 pounds.   If I think my chances of being
in a crash are low does it follow that I can use a seatbelt that
can only hold a 130 pound person?    That would be nonsense.

If you decide you might need a seatbelt you have to get
one that works,   Ditto with a parachute.
