Yes, Courtesy patrols have been used for years. It's been used to take care of servicemen an servicewomen to keep them out of the MP’s hands, in uniform when you could only leave the base in uniform.

None of the sinister things that you ascribe to it are true.

This conspiracy theory of the worst sort In my Retired Military Opinion and experience with actual Courtesy Patrols does not merit space on FR.

Is it inconvenient to hear a contrary opinion to your own on FR? Does it get in the way? Is freedom of speech no longer allowed here? Especially if you don't agree with what's being said?

Is it your Retired Military Opinion that such concerns be silenced now? After all, Capitalized Opinions warrant so much more credibility, especially since they have the power to label armed military patrols in an American city, "Courtesy Patrols." If I had only known their name, I would never have been concerned in the first place - especially since it was certified by a Capitalized Vet.

I mean, I'm just a civilian, and I need to learn that this country is based on Trusting Government And Not Asking Questions - after all, that's in the Constitution, right?
