I expect my government to provide law enforcement protection within its own borders. That is a basic function of govt. But I don't expect govt. to provide me with a Sea Stallion helicopter because I chose to vacation in a terrorist safe-haven. I think the first is a reasonable expectation of govt. The latter is a nicety we the taxpayers foot the bill for.
Actually I wasn't being sarcastic, I agree with you.....I just happen to equate parts of Baltimore with a war zone.
