Local or Federal Civilian Control?

 

[The military’s top brass is looking into controlling the U.S. civilian population in case of economic disaster] "It’s a study currently under consideration by the nation’s top military intelligence leaders and it’s called 'Unified Quest 2011'. Reduced to its simplest meaning the exercise assumes that nation states are failing due to economic mismanagement and the civilian population must be controlled by the military. What is unclear is why the military assumes that the civilian police authorities are not up to the job of maintaining public order. What is also not clear is why the military believes that it can ignore the Posse Comitatis Act, which forbids the military from acting as police within the borders of the U.S. There will be a meeting next month where the nation’s top brass will discuss the possibility of seizing control of law enforcement."

Response to comment [from other]:  "In the midst of the chaos, ordinary civvies could abolish the government."
