I find the military presence quite reassuring. I have always found them to be very polite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern would be if it gets carried away and becomes extreme due to some abuse, misuse or overuse... none of which I have observed yet in three years of it here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted December 11, 2019 Author Posted December 11, 2019 To clarify, I haven't had an issue with the implementation of martial law or the check points. My 'good news' comment was in the expectation that martial law wouldn't be being stopped if the threat level hadn't decreased (although in retrospect maybe I shouldn't assume that).
