If you are ever in a life threatening situation at sea, and the coastguard comes in, you'll change your mind about that.
If you are ever in a flood or wildfire and the National. Guard come in, you'll change your mind about that.
If you are ever caught in a foreign crisis, and the Marines come in and get you home, you'll change your mind about that.
If you are ever facing violence in the street and the police arrive, you'll change your mind about that.
