In the early villages which we called Kingdoms the military and police consisted of every person who could take up arms. Soon as the village prospered they began to pay soldiers to perform the task of military police. Soon after the paid military, police found that by attacking a neighboring village (Kingdom) they could get more money for weapons and warriors. Soon there after they decided they knew what was good for the village, so they deposed the elected leader and imposed a king. Soon after that the village consisted of royality and serfs. With the military/police acting as the keeper of the serfs. We are very close to that in the United States right now. Especially with our culture of perpetual war and military hero's. Remember the reason for our large nuclear weapons holdings. Mutual Assured Destruction. The doctrine that if you shoot at me I will kill you too. Our percieved enemy is gone but the weapons remain, WHY. Like our war department being renamed Defense Department. The largest Military on Earth, engaged in a couple of open and many clandestine wars around the world is not defending anything. So it is only logical to rename them the offensive war 's department. Our police no longer protect and serve the communities, they keep the poor and di9sadvantaged under check. Converting anyone who speaks out, stands up or whispers that things are wrong into serfs, in a prison labor force. Like the disparity of the war on drugs. Where some rich guy gets caught with coke or pot and gets at most a week of service to perform. The poor guy gets caught doing the same thing and gets five or more years in our prison industry. Think about it. Robert N. Smith USN RET.
