>>11350532The problem is that people do what they are trained to do and most people tend to be lazy. The training that keeps a soldier alive makes him a walking human rights violation if you put him in a role likely to trigger that training back home.
That doesn't mean no one who served can be a cop, but they need transition and retraining so that they cease to be a soldier and instead become a cop. An active soldier cannot be a cop. It isn't fair to ask them to do something that is contrary to their training. Thats why peacekeeping and nation building sucks so badly for our soldiers: it isn't their job. I'm a hell of a psychologist and most of my patients are teenagers, but if you asked me to teach a high school class I'd be a shitty teacher and probably drink myself to death.
