YOU WANT TO USE THE MILITARY FOR WHAT?

Pentagon to Detail Troops to Bolster Domestic Security

I saw this article posted on The Drudge Report , and it got me to thinking; why on earth do we need this? Basically, it's going to have the military posted inside our own borders for internal affairs.

"All would be trained to respond to a domestic chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive attack, or CBRNE event, as the military calls it."

Isn't this what FEMA is for? Wouldn't we do better to revamp/restructure FEMA? What kind of events do they honestly expect to be used for, that we don't already have an organization to deal with?

This seems eerily similar to the "Civilian Security Force" which Mr. Obama suggested a few months ago.

"'We need to be able to deploy teams that combine agricultural specialists and engineers and linguists and cultural specialists who are prepared to go into some of the most dangerous areas alongside our military,' he said."

What would either of these groups do, that is NOT ALREADY done after a natural or man-made catastrophe?
