Recently I read a thread in which there were many comments about creeping Martial Law and the use of the military to enforce laws in civilian areas. I found this interesting article: The Myth of Posse Comitatus.
The Myth of Posse Comitatus
I do not support the use of the military in this fashion and I think it is a very dangerous and slippery slope for this country to be on, but I would be interested in what others think concerning this. Use of the National Guard in Indiana for the "War on Drugs" continues and may or may not fall under this category. I'm not sure. What do you think? Do you support use of regular military or the National Guard in this capacity?
