The point I'm making is that you only have the article's author's word for it that the state guard was doing anything other than act as liaisons. We have to believe everything we read just because the author says its true? You can if you want. I don't. If you want to believe that we Americans are terrified of our own military, that's up to you of course. I happen to be an American and I've met some Texans. None of them showed any sign of paranoid fear of the government.

To me, this article just doesn't ring true. If you want to translate into Swedish terms, why don't you try some Swedish reporter tries to make a big story where there isn't one?
