Veterans often find jobs serving the community

1. I hope this continues. However I think we are in for some trouble when it comes to military trained

police forces. Our communities should not be compared to battle grounds.

It worries me that so many stories here on DU are about shooting innocents and disabled persons and other forms of misuse of their power. I think we need to look into the training the officers in these stories had. Are they vets who may be suffering from after effects of years in the battle field?

My uncle was walking in the woods with my dad. Dad gave and old gunny sack a kick to get it out of their way. My uncle hit the dirt in a natural reaction of a man who has been trained to look out for land mines.

I think we need a program that allows for retraining veterans for the community. They are not at war any longer.
