Frankly, I have a very hard time believing that is true.
Any military person can be “confined” for breaking military protocol if it is potentially a court martial offense. Been that way since the beginning of our country.
“And there have been far more beating of American protesters than there have been of Australians.”
Per capita, not a chance.
I have not read about but rather have “seen” the beatings in your streets and regardless of which police forces our responsible......You do NOT see this going on in this country to any significant degree.
“The USA's FBI is becoming like the police states in the old Soviet Bloc.”
Hyperbolic and inaccurate statement but FISA and Patriot Act have given the FBI/NSA/CIA more authority than they should have and need to be reigned in.
So you are making excuses for far leftist military leadership in the USA. And you need to use per capital, can you quote me some actual statistics on beating by police per capita in the USA versus Australia? People living in glass countries shouldn't throw stones.
