"The real danger is people who have the skills to be tactically dangerous such as former Soldiers, Marines~ Careful with those presumptions there"

I have 11 years service in 2 branches of our nations armed forces it was no presumption, those 2 guys who were mouthing off were not shy about letting it be known that they were former US Army, they claimed to be spec ops typical so typical of blowhards but more likely they were only former Rangers or Pathfinders. My point is that not everyone we train in our military is going to be on the morally correct side bad apples exist and those bad apples are very well trained and dangerous. Look at my tag line you can then deduce what I did for the military.

He was either PBI, or Caesar. I'm betting on someone with muddy boots.

I have 23+ years in the military and another 10 in supporting roles. The blowhards were most likely just that- blowhards. There are a lot of posers out there nowadays. Everyone wants to be "former SpecOps".

I don't discount the role that "former" military personnel can play in an SHTF scenario. The military is a microcosm of society as a whole. If they can go over to the dark side and work for organizations like TSA, they can go bad in a worst case scenario. To presume all will go bad, or even that all former military possess a ton of deadly skills and a willingness to use them is a bad start.

BTW- is that tagline French?

“I came, I saw, I conquered.” Ah, U.S. Army Sniper School.

Thank-you for your service.
