What the feds want to do is to be able to communicate mil-spec

between squads of Guards deployed across a destroyed city.

====================================
Americans are always planning for war. It's an inbuilt disposition.

That's the best way of guaranteeing they will get it sooner or later.

Witness Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan, Palestine and many other places.

But keep the Chinese, Russians and Indians in mind. No danger from
them. But they are in a position to retaliate in kind.

Why not plan for Peace! It's safer!
