Read a short primer on how the military does things vs how cops do things.

Say that to military and when they hear 'cover me' they are taught to lay down suppresing fire.
Could be an issue.

It would be interesting to read that. From all of the people I've known in the Military they have consistently said that the Military should never be used as 'Police' because they are trained to defend against the enemy. If you use them in an enforcement capacity you effectively have made the citizenry 'the enemy.'
