First problem is use of the military within the US for ANY sort of combat operation is more than a little no-no when considered against the constitution. Second of all even if it wasn't if you allowed it to start, then it would be easier and easier to just call in the military and declare martial law as people would get use to it (kinda like TV violence eventually desensitizes kids to real violence)

AND it should be the PEOPLE of the US defending it within the borders along with LE and FBI.

That being said working with LE in a state that has some pretty hefty requirements for training I am still staggered at how many LE here don't go to the range except twice a year to qualify, AND how many of them don't own any firearm except their sidearm.

IE if it happens it is gonna be bad no matter what happens. We were once a nation of riflemen. Now we are a nation of passive let somebody else protect me while I hide behind the "safety" of plaster walls at home.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
