RM is right this guy is a self promoting blowhard ("feral thugs...horrific...the most moral nation on earth...Trump is unfairly limited...the fire of national promise is going out..unleash the troops...because it is the moral thing to do...") He uses 24 personal pronouns. We do not need to know how many hours he worked 20-30 years ago at what wage rate or what he cultivated as to personal excellence and virtue. We do not need his testimony on his covenants or hearsay from 13 year olds. Or the $120 claim.

Hill is a philosopher. He is promoting his new book. He gives lectures in London on "cosmopolitanism". He knows jack about law enforcement in Chicago. He knows even less about the military.

 The national guard is available for call up by the state governor, or at the request of a mayor, to police streets if necessary. They have training on civil law enforcement and come from the community or region.

The military has other jobs to do and other training. Most are 18-22 with high school diplomas and little experience outside their home towns. They sign up for 3-5 years of carefully structured training for the difficult and critical jobs they will be asked to do, which does not include cleaning up gangs in big cities.

The President can call up the National Guard in emergencies (NOT THE MILITARY), but President's have done so only 12 times, most notably when the state authorities refused to do so.
