Talk:Military Police

Proposed merger
Definitely oppose. While most gendarmeries are or were military police, there is a distinct difference. Most military police forces are not gendarmeries, since they do not police civilians. -- Necrothesp 13:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * To me in Britain:-
 * A gendarmerie is a semi-army-type body that controls the general population.
 * Military police is a body that keeps the members of the army in order.
 * If some countries say "military police" to mean "police who are organized and trained army-fashion", then military police will have to be a disambig between those two meanings, and of the world's bodies called "military police", we will have to sort out which is which.
