This has been underway for some time, but the Pentagon is preparing a 20,000 strong military force for domestic deployment in the event of a city-killing terrorist attack, such as a chemical, biological, or nuclear strike.
Some talk-radio personalities are saying that this will be the tool used to overthrow the Constitution and establish fascism in this country. I disagree with Glenn Beck's assessment. When a nuclear attack happens (WHEN, not IF), we will be thanking God that these troops are available to help. If we are the targets of a Mumbai-style terror assault, people like Glenn Beck will be the first ones publicly calling on the government to use these troops immediately.
I do not believe that this force will be used to overthrow the Constitution, but to strengthen it, and to help our domestic institutions protect the American people from the kind of people (with their fourth-grade educations) who murdered so many in Mumbai, including six of our fellow citizens.
I'm not going to sweat it. The Fairness Doctrine is more of a threat than these troops are.
