#1 Feb 28, 1993 was one of our first clues. They've gone on steroids in the past few years.

#2 1 - that Iraqi army went home to the barracks at night.

2 - when they start building barracks or refurbishing barracks abandoned by DoD become worried.

3 - when you have to go home at night, there is no protection. That's why so many of the Iraqi and Afghan local police are 'ineffective'. They want to be there in the morning, along with their family, to go back to work. Particularly among a community where no one sees anything.

#4 I understand its better to hand out the ex-mil equipment rather than rust it, but the thing about boys is that if you give them toys they will want to play with them.

btw, how did the DHS youth brigade perform in Hurricane Sandy?

I have been struggling with what P2K brings up. At what point does a civilian police force become a soldier en regard to the 3rd Amendment? Having a barracks, I think everyone can agree on that. But what is a gated and guarded neighborhood? Opponents of the 2nd claim it was meant for hunting, then they must concede that giving a civilian force the same equipment as a military - drones, armored vehicles, weapons not available authority to conduct operations outside of civilian law systems.

Perhaps all of the lahyers in charge, who spent their entire education and professional ids around the process of procedure and definitions, could explain why they are so not interested in procedure and definition.
