What ever reason, bureaucratic empire building, careerist ambitions, or worse this is a very bad idea and contains the germs of a blurring of police and military identity. Many here are becoming very uncomfortable with the suspicion that the armed forces are being deliberately through PC activities being turned into the government's armed force not the nation's military services. This is just one more indication of that sinister possibility.

Military stands ready if needed at RNC, other conventions

That’s exactly what looks to be happening. Obama was foiled in making his fedeyeen Obama when he first tried so the worms will try this route instead, first fouling the services to drive out the traditionalists to make room for their own ilk, then turning the military services into a private palace guard to protect the elitists in the Hague. That’s where it’s going eventually, bet on it. When they take all the honor and integrity out of the military as they are striving so hard to do, they will have to institute that mandatory service plan the liberals kept proposing ... when we no longer have a national culture or tradition worth protecting, and your families have been broken up as American families have been, and religion has ben supressed or befouled by political correctness, and our land property can be taken arbitrarily, just what will they have left us that is worth defending? Our pets?
