One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”*<br/><br/>&gt; -William Adama, Battlestar Galactica (2004)<br/><br/>With Trump sending the military into more and more cities, the line feels more relevant than ever. So I turned it into a sticker. If you’d like the design, it’s free to use. As a subtle nod to *Battlestar Galactica*, I recommend clipping the corners.<br/><br/>[]( <img src="https://docpop.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/battlestar-police-military.png"> )*Above image is CCBY Doc Pop.
