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.
