2015-09-13 US: Yearning for a military coup, when the nation is already taken by the military-industrial complex...
==================
The people of the US need to be updated...
__
"Overall, most of those surveyed (70 percent) seemed to think that military officers want what's best for the country, but only 55 percent think that police officers act with the country's best interest at heart."
There's a very simple reason for the above discrepancy which is that Americans see the US military as targeted at foreign enemies while they understand that domestic police targets themselves, i.e. US citizens.
"Us vs them" and conflicting group loyalties can all be Venn diagrammed out and this really underlies all human "politics" or the art/science of grouping people to accomplish various goals.
Another reason why the US-NATO-Israel should not be promoted from domestic policing, with its rather sorry internal track record---including one of the higher crime and murder rates in the world as well as huge incarceration rate---to "global super cop" status! If the US had to produce an honest resume seeking promotion to the job of "global policeman" and the selection was based on merit that included consideration of, say other countries like Norway, it wouldn't get the job!
Forty-three percent of Republicans would support a military coup.
