200 Years On

Much depends on what you consider "armed troops".

Where do you draw the line between police, or security guards from this-that-or the other government department armed with military equipment and "troops".

Here in the States the dividing line between "police","government law enforcement services" and "troops" is growing more thin daily.

One year, during the Obama Administration, our National Weather Service was reported to have purchased more than a million rounds of ammunition for their "security force".

Since when did the world need armed weather reporters?
