We sure could use 44'000 troops here at home to help law enforcement clean out the worst of neighborhoods in America. Orlando, Florida had 67 murders this year alone and there were thousands more throughout America. Why should we fight other peoples wars when we have enough to do at home, and we are paying for this with our tax dollars.....

Have you never heard of the Posse Comitatus Act? Federal Troops cannot be used for Law Enforcement purposes. It's against the law.

You had better think this thru a bit more. At no time should a civil society be policed by the military. The term for this is martial law and is only used in dire emergencies. You may not like what you get if this were to happen.

If we need more law enforcement, hire more cops. People don't join the Marines to walk a beat in the U.S.

Now that's a new idea I haven't heard but I'm sure it's something Bush/GOP has been thinking about. Troops in the streets of America keeping the peace. I think they already tried that in Nazi Germany. Worked very well there.

Our Military is trained to kill not coddle American civilians. No, our Military should never ever be allowed to fight crime in this nation.

It's illegal for U.S. troops to be used on American soil for that purpose.

What we really should do is to bring the soldiers back to thier families and friends to prevent any more deaths.
