>>>>>this study actually suggests using hard military assets for terror attack response. Pg 17 goes into civil unrest.<<<<<
The National Guard was deployed in the 1968 MLK riots in DC and and other cities, and given the widespread looting, arson, violence, and general mayhem, that was a sound response at the time (I grew up in DC Metro and recall that weekend vividly).
But that’s merely an aside because I completely and totally disagree with you that this paper is “about” domestic use of the military.
It’s as if you stopped reading when you found the paragraph or sentence you sought.
If anyone else is following this discussion, just click on one of the links in posts #14 or #19 above and read the paper to decide for yourself whether it’s a 50,000 foot academic view of DoD strategy, or whether it’s “about” using the military to quell domestic riots in the U.S.A.
It’s about shifting the DoD focus to encompass the new terror threat. INCLUDING domestic use of the military. Expressly forbidden by Posse Comitatus.
