This has to be one of the scariest things I've read about this administration. The idea that US military could be used on US civilians in an "emergency" is truly frightening. Anyone remember Kent State and the agony that caused? How about Nazi Germany and Krystalnacht? This could be ten times worse.
And I'm sure the excuse is that this is a different time and the Armed Forces are needed to protect US civilians from terrorists. My response to that is that there is no military agency in the world that can stop a group of people determined to kill others so long as they have no regard for their own lives.
