U.S. Troops Deployed in Alabama

The soldiers pictured here are not in Iraq, Afghanistan, or some other war-torn third world country. They were dispatched from the Army base at Ft. Rucker to patrol the streets of Samson, Alabama, following Michael McLendon's murderous shooting spree on March 10.

If the military insists on ignoring the Posse Comitatus Act, we can expect scenes like this to be much more common.
