 Canadian Military Keeping Tabs on Peace Activists? - CommonDreams.org
The US military and apparently also the militarizes of America’s allies view any political activity in opposition to the use of the military, the practices of the military and their recruiters, or in opposition to the continually increasing budgets of the military as a threat to them.
If there really is civilian control of the military, then the corollary to that is that the military needs to be completely absent from the political process such that the democratic processes of a society can work on their own to determine what policies the civilian government wants to give to the military.
When the military crosses that line, and starts spying on, and then later possibly acting to intimidate and influence the political process to its own ends, then that is destructive to the very notions of democracy and of civilian control of the military.
