I see your point, but I also see the danger from the heavily armed troops 
being , ultimately, greater than the danger from street thugs.  That wasn't 
really my point though.  After Reconstruction, The Posse Comitatus Act was 
legislated for a  reason.  If the gov't desires to use troops in this 
country; the gov't, to remain credible, must overturn The Posse Comitatus 
Act.  There will be a bit of hollering if they try ....bobford

It would seem to me, given what we are allowed to know about the
economic situation, more trained troops being here in the US ready to
deploy would be a good idea.

The first time government checks don't go out or banks can't cash them
or paychecks, there will probably be some helping to do. Given our
recent track record, I can't believe it is in case there is an
earthquake or hurricane.
