I follow you on everything EXCEPT further integration of the military and LEO's. It makes my hair stand on end. Enforcement of laws and combat are two entirely different roles and although I agree with you that the reality for big city cops is that enforcement carries many similarities to combat a further blurring of that line is NOT good for civil liberties et al. I would be loathe point out the very different set of circumstances that have led Israel to blend its forces but the fact is the USA does not face an imminent threat of open combat with forces on the other side of a mere chain link fence.
