Well, I have said NOTHING about 'revolution" - my concern is that too many people have a 'not time to worry yet" attitude.
Would you consider a totally new layer of law enforcement in addition to our military - which includes States National Guards and the CoasT Guard, State Police, Sheriffs and Police - that was as big as, "just as strong, just as powerful, just as well funded as our military" something to "worry about"?
Could you cite where in the Constitution that is allowed?
Could you explain to us just what 'bama is proposing in this clip = and could you give us a heads up so's we'll know when we should 'start worrying"?

Since you are using this DoD Directive 1404.10 as the foil and justification for a bizarre overreaction and to stir up your fellow Freepers, could you kindly identify the specific and unambiguous text and passages from the actual Directive to us?
I'd like either to understand what your actual concerns are, or to confidently conclude that those concerns are illusory, uninformed, and overstated.
As jim-x mentioned above, he has been an actual subject of DoDD 1404.04 (or its predecessor) in the past, and I have worked and been friends with guys who were as well.
So what's the beef. There's nothing new here so far as I can tell, aside from someone at DoD twiddling with the title and the language and maybe some very arcane bureaucratic nuances unique to DoD (and as jim-x also mentioned, under the GW Bush DoD, not Obama's).
So what's the problem?
