"Furthermore, the military isn't designed to be a police force and it weakens their training to put them into that situation."

I also agree with your point. Besides not be designed as a police force, it does not operate as one either. It operates on a whole different set of principles. Heck we can't even gather a force strenght to handle what we are doing abroad. How in the name of God are we going to handle operations abroad and operations in CONUS. This is just nuts.

I have to think there is something else going on here that is making Members of Congress react this way.

If we are attacked in a big way by terrorists the military will just be sent in to do what they have to do and damned the consequences. Then we will sit down to some sensible discussions about how to protect our homeland.
