So, say you're a special forces operative and you are trying to infiltrate a terror cell in Hoboken. The neighbors, who are anti-war, tell the terrorists who you are (maybe they knew you in college or something). Do you consider that freedom of speech? You still defend them?
First of all,the military would NOT be used that way.
The FBI or other intelligence assets would be used, and that would be someone not from the area.
The military MIGHT be used, and I stress MIGHT, to eliminate or otherwise intercept that cell.
It is not the job, mission, or task of the military to perform civilian law enforcement duties in the US.
The scenario you described is a civilian matter, not the military.
Your paranoia is showing.
