In direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids military troops from playing a role in domestic law enforcement, the Pentagon has announced plans to station 20,000 armed, uniformed troops inside the United States where they will walk the streets, ready to "respond to terrorism events".



What are your thoughts on this?
Do you feel it's necessary or unnecessary to have uniformed soldiers in our towns?
What do you think will be the impact of such a move?

A few points to consider.

1) we have far more the 20,000 uniformed and armed military personnel (given the number of military bases in the US) ready to step in as law enforcement IF a state of emergency is declared. A declaration of a state of emergency and a call for marshal law is the only way that this would happen, and in the event of a dirty bomb etc. it would be legal and proper to call a state of emergency.

2) The Bush administration is on its way out. It did not have the guts to put armed troops on the Mexico border for real security reasons, why would anyone in the administration now violate the Posse Comitatus act now? I smell BS. The articles author never states the source of the info, just a reference to the Pentagon. With out being able to read the Pentagon statement in full context, it is hard to know the truth.

3) The reference the author makes to the 911 attacks being engineered by the Bush administration only discredits the author.

4) I read the latest article by the wacky commie economist who made the bold statement the the US will fall apart do to an economic collapse of our capitalistic system. The thing is, this guy has been saying that scene Regan was in office, and the commies have been predicting a Western collapse ever sense the 1920s.

5) Our country will stay United. It is as simple as that. 620,000 dead Americans and over a million dollars a day spent by the Federal Government alone during the Civil War was not enough to break up this country, why would today's situation do it? What about the whole first part of the 20th century. WW1 followed by the great influenza epidemic followed by Prohibition and rising crime rates followed by the stock market collapse followed by the great depression with its 25 percent unemployment rate. Through in the destruction of the mid west farms by the great dust bowl and the massive health problems that came out of the dirty thirties and this country should have already been torn apart. Almost 1 out of 3 US men were turned away from military service during WW2 because of health problems caused by malnutrition as children during the 1930s. Today we worry about our kids being too fat and if the poor can afford cell phones and ipods.

And last, this whole article is written in the new form of journalism. That is, it is written in the "what if" or "may be it will happen" form. The who thing is at best speculation, but mostly is is just BS. I find it funny that the author makes the statement that the Bush Administration uses fear to get us to sell our rights and freedoms for security, yet isn't it the liberal Dems who keep telling us that crime would go down if we would all just hand in our guns, and screw the 2nd Amendment? And what about the author? Is he just using fear, in the form of "what if" journalism to sell what ever propaganda he is selling? BS all around.
