Can you imagine what was going through his mind?

Alright, time to go to work and be a bodyguard for the president. Gotta do my best. He's giving a speech today. Martial law? Must be one of those politician words, he is pretty knowledgeable.

Wait... why is everyone freaking out? This isn't normal. Why is everyone whispering? Why is everyone giving my boss the death glare? Looks like everyone wants home gone? Maybe I should take a look at this Martial law thing?

It's probably just some sort of everyday law that is just a little controversial....

Fuck. I have to guard this guy with my life?

The head of the security service isn't just a meathead bit of heavy muscle there to jump in front of a bullet.

Martial law also isn't some obscure policy, it's an internationally understood term that replaces the democratic civilian parliament with military rule.

This is definitely something someone in his position should be very aware of and should be willing to do something about.
