Someone has just suggested that we train soldiers to also deal with domestic public order matters with non-lethal force.

In other words: to train soldiers not to be soldiers.

It is presumably demanding enough to train soldiers to be soldiers.

Yes: some missions abroad involve peacekeeping, crowd control, etc; but that is not the same as domestic civil policing.

Policing is not the same as soldiering. And nor should it be.
