Unless, of course, the garrison forces are responsible to a higher
authority than local planetary government. NAC/NSL/FSE/ESU/etc
regulars probably care less about the opinion of local planetary
governors than, for instance, the US Army cared about any given French
mayor's opinion of the effects of a P-47 strike on Tigers located in
his town.
