The govt. is the issue, not the army. Outside of contractors, the army has very little to do with the workings of civilians. That's generally left to the reservists of the military.

Illegal detention = CIA
Illegal hits (murders) = FBI/CIA/Presidential Cabinet
Anti-Protest laws = secret service/presidential cabinet
Phone-taps = can't disclose

There are many more violations of the constitution...but no point in going through it all.
Soldiers/Marines...truth be told, most despise the government more than you do. Any veteran can tell you the dumb shit we deal/dealt with on the daily. Fight for the people, fuck the system.

Point is...yes the government sucks but you have nothing to fear from the army.

As for tanks, yes the tanks are being mobilized...but not to be used in this country. Our government has always been war-mongers, does it really surprise you that we are gearing for another war?

Obviously none of you have been to the Fort Hood area (biggest army post with a heavy amount of infantry). It is very common to see combat as well as non-combat vehicles roaming the civilian areas. Anything from black hawks and apaches to LMTVs, Hum-Vs, tanks and etc.
