My brother, who spend most of his life in the Marines, explained the difference between the military and the police to me many years ago. The job of the military is to accomplish a set mission by any means necessary, including force. The job of the police is to ensure that law and order are kept. If you send the police to do the job of the military, the result will be dead police and and unaccomplished missions. If you send the military to do the job of the police the result will be dead civilians, and eventually civil disorder. We have a lot of police who have forgotten this. And the results are obvious.
