Should cops or Admirals spearhead a war on piracy?
What Americans don’t have, that we should derive lessons from even if we don’t replicate them in our own country, is militarized law enforcement organizations like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Spanish Guardia Civil, French Gendarmerie Mobile and Italian Carabinieri. National police with the training and firepower to kill people and break things when required.
With so many law enforcement officers in the National Guard, one would think U. S. Army Military Police could field provisonal Constabulary Brigades to fill that niche between the Peace Corps and a Stryker Brigade Combat Team.
