I'm getting the impression you do not understand the nature of the "players" here.
Or my point.
"Ex-green beanies" are not the problem here.
Frankly,I highly doubt many, if any at all, former DOD Special Forces personnel(green,black, blue or red) are employed by any LEO.
Wannabees, probably.
Wannabees are those who could not meet the stringent minimum of the actual "special forces" standards.
Or those who got kicked out, for dereliction of duty.
Wannabees are actively recruited by the BATF, and various State and local level LEOs.
Actual former "experienced, highly trained and qualified" former special forces people"...not a chance.

I know some ex berets who worked for Florida state and local forces. They are retired from that now. One is a relative and a war hero turned a****le. When the Army got "downsized" after VN he didn'tget "fired" as it were but discovered that there would be no further advancement so he left for greener pastures along with a bunch of others.
