but I see no sane reason to change posse commitatus.

A large conventional military force is totally asymettrical against a few skulking terrorists. It's not like they're going to take a city and hold out or something. This makes no sense. A battalion would only be useful against citizens. Can't anyone figure there might have been a Reason for passing Posse Commitatus in the first place?

And even this NYT democrat can't say that they are trying to change it- much as she would like to.

I'll wait for the actual report, if all it says is they are reviewing it- fine.
Any debate about it will just show it's strength and publicize it ( 90% of the US probably doesn't even know it exists).

This makes no sense.

No, generally it doesn't. The only way I see it making sense is if it all about keeping troops on the borders....ready for illegals and invasion type of activity, jmo.
