Ah, it may be, but the streets and surrounding cityscape are *THEIR* turf
now. Remember, the military has exchanged things in the RA:S material.
They're now lords of the BADASS on the block. Besides, I would smell massive
political maneuvering going on, and I'm sure that people with clout (higher
up military/politicians) are going to try and rub people wrong when and
wherever they can.

Nope. They might keep the normality, but you have to remember that at least
one aircraft has been shot down prior to its' landing on the arc. As long as
it was in the air, it was in UCAS airspace. Fine Line legalities like this
is how one defines the battlefield of politics. And politics (frightening to
this like this) are one of the button pushes in combat/warfare.
