I'm aware of the martial law aspect of this: read my last shout.
The American aspect of me may be up to my ankles in it, but don't forget my time in a city where those little German amphibious jeeps (I forget what they were called) with soldiers in field dress running through the streets (they seemed to be on their way to and from CFB St. Hubert (which is HQ, Mobile Command (Mobile Command being, in essence, those Canadian ground forces not committed to NATO)), and riding the metro with young cadets from the Black Watch of Canada, once again, in field dress.
Also don't forget my visit to my old neighborhood in NYC, where my old bank branch (now a drug store) seemed to have at least four (apparently) armed soldiers (I'm still not convinced they weren't carrying rubber guns, as the outline shape of what they were carrying seemed, to me, to be a highly antiquated version of the M-16) standing at the subway entrance in front. When my father saw that setup, he laughed and called it "the best-guarded drug store on earth".

Are you taking over? Or are you taking orders? I ain't going backwards! We're going only forwards!
