It was like this for private military contractors during the years I was in AFG. I found one news article mention it back home.

I sat drinking at a bar on veteran's day years back and heard a couple of sf operators talking at the end. Ended up hanging out with them that night. They got a weird look from me when they drunkenly told me Happy Veteran's Day! at the end of the evening before cussing me out for not considering myself a veteran (I was a leo, not a serviceman). I've since heard this sentiment echoed a few times by other servicemen and servicewomen. Real recognizing real and all that. Makes one proud to serve their country, despite in what capacity.

LEO is not military and the closer they become to military the more toxic the environment is.

When there is little divide between the two really bad shit happens.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but I think militarizing the police force is just a work around the posse comitatus act.
