In capitalist America, in order to go to work every day you have to let the military search through your belongings. Once you pass the military checkpoint you must still be wary because there are police officers disguised as civilians hiding in the crowd.
LOL. I used to work at a large state air national guard base. The most ridiculous thing I've ever seen is guardsmen, walking back from getting their mcdonalds delivery at the main gate, DRAGGING THE MUZZLES OF THEIR RIFLES ON THE GROUND. Congrats, you've just upgraded from fairly untrained and mostly terrified to completely untrained and completely terrified armed psychos roaming the community. Name something more amerikkkan.
I have a hard time believing that anything in the US is worse than its police. At the very worst, National Guard are just as bad as cops. I could believe that. But worse? Nah.
