It's no surprise that I absolutely loathe this idea, and so do all my friends... But, I'm convinced it will happen anyway because it's a chance to make money and get the current administration a PR win.

Once it does, I wonder how the rest of the country - the people who weren't paying attention to this until it happened - will react when they see columns of Americans in combat gear walking in lockstep through the center of a city. Will they start to wonder where this leads culturally? Or will they just throw confetti and wave flags and eat hot dogs?
