Pumps' Perplexities

If memory serves me correctly, there were a lot of people
that said that our active military personnel were not
properly trained in the techniques of crowd
control and looting situations when they entered into the
City of Baghdad, a few years ago.....They were, after all,
trained for fight a war and not trained to maintain the
peace......

The military commanders at the time said that their
troops would adapt and had the ability to convert from
warrior to policeman.....

Has anyone noticed that there is currently a large
contingent of active military personnel in New Orleans,
many of whom have recently returned from their tours
in Iraq, involved in the maintenance of social order?.....
Like in the Legions of Rome, there is a fine line between
warrior and public servant....Pumps
