Why would you feel uncomfortable around soldiers? They don't have any jurisdiction here nor do they want it.
With the overturning of the Posse Comitatus act in 2007, they DO have jurisdiction at any time the president chooses:
Public Law 109-364, or the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the commander in chief on October 17th, 2006, in a private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency" and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder."
President Bush seized this unprecedented power on the very same day that he signed the equally odious Military Commissions Act of 2006. In a sense, the two laws complement one another. One allows for torture and detention abroad, while the other seeks to enforce acquiescence at home, preparing to order the military onto the streets of America. Remember, the term for putting an area under military law enforcement control is precise; the term is "martial law." ENTIRE STORYAs for what the soldiers
want, that is irrelevant: they are slaves. When/if the day comes and they are ordered to patrol the streets, conduct household raids, etc. they will do so. And the first time it happens, whether for "fighting terrorism" or drug dealers, it will be an insight to the future. The proverbial camel's nose will be under the tent. The masses will cheer.
OK, so how are police shootings the same as classifying military targets for assasination?
I make no distinction between any of the endless assortment of armed government employees. Whatever costume they may happen to be wearing, or whatever pieces of state-approved metal or cloth that may be attached to them means nothing to me: they are all armed enforcers of government policy. Maybe Pizz feels the same way . . . ?
