Counter Insurgency (reading reference) part 4

Brendan McQuade: The Return of Domestic CounterInsurgency?: "ounterinsurgency threatens democratic politics at home because it necessarily entails a politicization of the military and the blurring of civilian and military roles:

'Training and participation in counterinsurgency necessarily involves emphasis on the unity and interrelatedness of civilian and military talks and authority. It is not realistic to expect military men who are trained to be 'soldiers-political workers' to remain apolitical at home…The determination to equip the natives with the 'will to fight' transfers eventually to the metropolitan country when the 'will' of the people 'at home' appears to be sagging. The crusade abroad may find expressions at home when the society is viewed as needing moral or political regeneration.'"
