Pentagon Plans Could Mean Troops for Homeland Defense

I am ready, I am waiting...

Our home as well. Only an extreme optimist would expect our military to protect them should an all out battle for the survival of our country begin, to which I might add, that our enemy has said many times that they would destroy our cities, and have proven they can. The military will have bigger fish to fry than us.

Troops on the borders to stop illegal immigration, no problem. But the use of troops anywhere else in the United States for homeland defense is just a little scary. Of course the Democrats/liberals/progressives/socialists (or whatever they're calling themselves this week), if they ever got back in power, would make firearms ownership illegal under the guise of homeland defense. That's why it's important that they stay out of power, and I mean not even allowed to hold the position of dogcatcher.

I would see troops on the border as guarding our border which I would assume is one of their potential duties. Protecting the border would not seem to fall under enforcing the law to me. If they catch someone crossing then they turn them over to the law enforcement agency charged with such activities. No different than a civilan catching an illegal and turning him over to the Border Patrol. Now if you have soldiers running around arresting people for civilian crimes then there might be a problem with that. Also, if the military cannot enforce laws while located inside the country then how do they prevent people from stealing stuff from their bases here?

Nothing keeps the military from repelling attacks on the US now

>>>> "more Special Operations units <<<<

Just think about that one.

>>>> urban guerillas and insurgents <<<<<

There's more but that's enough for now

It amazes me the government will do very little if anything to protect U.S. property and at the same time is willing to violate the constitution to take a citizen's property.

Did you find it ironic how earlier this week, President Bush was talking about Iraqi freedom, but didn't spend any time talking about the threats to our freedoms here?

For everybody that wants to welcome domestic military involvement at the lowest levels, guess what, the eminent domain ruling by the Supreme Court is a larger threat to this nation than any number of foreign terrorists running around our streets.
