The point I wanted to make,is that in the past,when the US was threatened existentially,we've suspended the Bill of Rights,curtailed many civilian activities,nationalized industries,declared Marshall law,went to a command and control government,rationed energy and materials and even allowed vigilante 'Slacker Raids',which literally hunted down and killed Americans who displayed 'un-patriotic' behavior.
I don't advocate any of it and would rather see market-based solutions.It's just that Americans need to know the lengths a sovereign will go to,to preserve a Republic.It's Machiavellian.
