Nope. That's a misallocation of resources. What you should have is enough civilian law enforcement infrastructure to make sure that there this doesn't happen.

That’s kind of my point. The current administration is using the wrong tool for the right thing. That makes a huge difference.

Most Americans have a visceral reaction against having troops involved in domestic activity, with a few previously mentioned exceptions.

I don’t believe this reaction (sending in armed military troops) will make most Americans think wow, this is great! Please send more troops.

The vast majority of Americans would love a tax bill that lowers taxes. But about 60% of Americans don’t like the BBB. Why? Right thing, wrong tool. Like cutting a board with a hammer.

It is my belief that, with very few exceptions, using armed military troops to ensure domestic tranquility is not going to be perceived by most Americans (except MAGA) as accomplishing a good thing. It’s going to be perceived as a scary thing.

Anyway, I’ve said my piece. You may have the last response.
