Global Cop? Global War? Try Military Police
Kerry was ridiculed for suggesting in debate that our national security imperatives could (and should) be handled with a low-intensity constabulary approach. Contrasting the prosecution of war with the booking of hoods were Bush and Cheney, who portrayed our mission abroad as less a game of global policeman than a matter of doing battle.
But as the Pentagon peers in its crystal ball the picture clouds. With the War on Terror as catchphrase caught in official limbo and the possibilities of life after Iraq and Afghanistan coming alive in the imagination of policy planners, the future prerogative of force looks like a combination of crime-busting for supercops and expeditionary thrusts by small-scale forces.
What we're facing is a world's-policeman role more musclebound and aggressive than anything Kerry could have imagined, and a granular, fine-focus network approach to combat far more latticed and finessed than what the Administration made it out to be by contrast. The line between Police Captain and Army Captain will continue to blur--not just overseas, but in America, too. Indeed, as border control cross-pollenates homeland security, the line between local and federal enforcement will shift in some places and merge in others (unless, of course, the Federal government continues to fight illegal immigration with poses and postures).
