The Raw Story | Report: Military may have to quell domestic violence from economic collapse

"Deepening economic strife in the US could lead to civil unrest and violence that would require military intervention, warns a new report from the US Army War College.

'Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,' writes Nathan Freier, a 20-year Army veteran and visiting professor at the college.

A copy of the 44-page report, 'Known Unknowns: Unconventional 'Strategic Shocks' in Defense Strategy Development,' can be downloaded here. Freier notes that his report expresses only his own views and does not represent US policy, but it's certain that his recommendations have come before at least some Defense Department officials."

Have you noticed how the tone of the story has changed, from a sense of "WTF?" to "Here's a topic for discussion."

Here's My response: This is wrong, very wrong and absolutely wrong. There is NO justification for prepping and implementing a military force within U.S. soil to serve as a watchdog, an armed-to-the-teeth watchdog, whose sole purpose is to impose the government's will--it's will--on the people.
