Like I said, under martial law the military governs by fiat so it's not a matter of being willing to give up freedom, you do as you're told.

For instance, fter Pearl Harbor Hawaii was placed under martial law and a dusk to dawn curfew for all civilians was imposed.

Was that a permanent policy though? No it wasn't, and my main point about Bush and Ridge encouraging Congress to review the Posse Comitatus Act, is that they seem to believe that arrests, searches, and seizures, should be permanent responsibilities for the military.
