Reply #105: The idea is that it provides security while you fix things.

Yes they break shit and blow it up.

Basically the theory is thus:
1. We need to fix stuff
2. People shoot the people who are fixing stuff
3. Use military to protect the people who are fixing stuff

So if we do need to fix it (which hasn't been established), do we also need to provide security for the fixers? Is there a better way to do that than to use the military (there might be)?

Right now I'm leaning away from the idea that we have a duty to fix any place we invade.
