    The article is incredibly useful from a systemic point of view because it allows us to calibrate the tension between maintaining and building security and the maintenance of internal democratic legitimacy. If you’re going to ask people to defend something, they get a say on what that something is supposed to be. People do get a say when the government goes all in on defence while cutting services. This is not a wartime command economy, nobody has said it is.
