Richard,

The entire Island (US territory at that time) of Hawaii was under martial law during WWII.

Life went on. Besides those who would carry out the execution of martial law would reside with state-based National Guard units, who predominantly own their allegiance to the Governor, not the President. (unless Federalized).

My biggest fear is that we will see a segment of American society percieve any martial law action as an attempt to assert "world government" or a police state. These elements could create serious disorder and aggravate attempts to re-establish civil order and normalcy.

I won't have much patience or sympathy for the psuedo-Timothy McVeigh aspirants out there.

In fact, I hope I get a chance to perforate a few of them myself.
(This based upon my past experience dealing with Aryan Nation's wackos)

Regards,

Ron
