Well martial law is neither good nor bad in of itself.


If troops are asked to protect the public and maintain order and peace (and if its truly what they're doing) then its good.

If troops are asked to begin mass rounds up and executions of the public then its bad.


Its all about intent.

Remember, those troops are also citizens, they are also fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandson, granddaughters, and friends to someone. If they have moral devotion, then they will do the right thing.

Look what happened in China. More than 50% of their military and police forces went AWOL stating they were going to stick by their families and friends instead of enforcing the CCP's dictatorship back in February.
