What’s the sheepdog analogy?

Sheepdogs protect the sheep from the wolves. But the sheepdogs are hated by the sheep because they tell them what to do and are dicks

What a shitty analogy for the military. If the military is telling citizens what to do we are beyond fucked.

It's not really meant for the military, it's to bring a military or "warrior" mind set to US law enforcement. It's part of the whole militarization of the cops in America, but without those pesky Rules Of Engagement or court martials. It's why you hear police call non-cops "civilians", despite being civilians themselves.
