        Paramilitaries are exactly the same as militaries, without the official sanction.

          Which confirms they are not “exactly the same”. The ICE agents I’ve seen are unprofessional, and not nearly as disciplined as military soldiers able to march, run obstacle courses, and instill confidence in civilians.

            and respect civilians

            American military? The ones who bombed an elementary school and continuously target Caribbean fishermen? I’m glad you’ve seen a different side of them, but they’re not generally big on respecting civilians.

            Unless you mean American civilians, which is kind of a fucked up distinction to draw, because American lives aren’t worth more than anyone else’s.

                So you were saying that?

                Yup, I have to bow out for civility then.
