Homeland Security Testimony and Quasi-Military Language

Undersecretary Garza of the Department of Homeland Security gave Senate testimony comparing the size of the DHS operational force to the U.S. Marine Corps. The testimony is criticized for using "bureaucratese" and military terminology, such as "forces," "forward positioning," and "security posture," to describe domestic medical and security operations. The hosts interpret this as evidence of the DHS evolving into a domestic military organization.
