    It still rubs me wrong that countries deploy their soldiers in the interiour. Securing the public space is foremost reserved for police forces for a specific reason. Placing soldier in the streets creates a dynamic that implies the citizen may be the enemy, which I feel is highly counterproductive and may lead to american circumstances.
