Do we have any better solutions?
We've thousands of vulnerable reservoirs, pumping stations, pipelines, aqueducts, powerlines, powerplants, bridges, overpasses, airports, microwave towers, satellite uplinks, communications cables, central phone switches, etc., etc., etc.
A concerted effort by saboteurs could bring this nation to its knees within days.
How do you propose protecting all these vulnerable points?
We are not supposed to use military for domestic police duties.
The "civilian" AmGard" vehicles and guys supposedly protecting our reservoirs are a joke because of the hundreds of miles of forested shoreline within each AmGard's territory. And most of the time I see their vehicle parked at the county courthouse.
