I thought they claimed that too
See, the problem there is to make that claim you have to be seen to give it. You have maintain the appearance of legitimacy. I'd say the US is facing a crisis of legitimacy worse than it's had in many decades.
People forget that without the appearance of legitimacy, the whole apparatus comes down, including the monopoly on violence. People forget that the Vietnam War was ended by a revolt within the military.
