We need to start thinking in terms of war condition rank and not jurisdictions anymore. The police could have a dual role of being called upon solely by the commander in chief or some Pentagon official during emergencies and specific terror targets, while maintaining the same civil rights structures as usual for other matters. otherwise we risk puting war material in peace time books and peace time material in war time ledgers. It's nonsense, call the militia.

The police can't be called on by military commanders, because they obey a civilian chain of command, and answer to civilian laws, while soldiers obey a military chain of command, and answer to the Uniform Military Code of Justice. Mixing the two up would wreak havoc.

That's it... yeah let's turn the U.S. into an all out police state to end this terrorism. Smart move.

If you're on the same side I'm on, I hate to consider what the enemy must look like.
