Regarding the second part in bold, I can tell you from my experience (granted this was early 80's) I had to go through a psychological evaluation before I was even accepted into the academy.  I assume that it's still a requirement today.

Maybe the military is different, but I worked with a guy on a river boat casino who was an army veteran. He told me he joined the Army, because he wanted to feel what it was like to shoot someone. He then told me how disappointed he was that he never got that chance. (He never got deployed.) I always wondered how no one saw his odd behavior and the way he talked? He basically told everyone this story. I guess I assumed the military and police departments used the same type of psychological exam. Apparently, I assumed wrong.

The military and the police are two different things (I served in both).  The ultimate objective in the military is to kill the enemy.  The objective of the police... not so much.  Deadly force is pretty much the last means to "stop the action".


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
