You would be amazed by the percentage of former military SpecOps guys currently employed by the federal alphabet agencies in their “Special Response Teams.”

It’s almost a prerequisite for entrance today. USMC MarSoc, SEALs, Rangers, SFs etc.

True. The skill sets that once were restricted to US military SOF conducting combat operations exclusively against foreign enemies has dramatically morphed into para-military operations against domestic "terrorists" since 2001, thanks in no small part to the passing and implementation of the Patriot Act (a most cynical term if there ever was one). The draw is the adrenaline rush of the work, remaining in what is considered an elite force, and the money. The question is, how many of these former special operators will remember and honor their oath to the Constitution rather than go into "accomplish the mission" auto mode when the domestiic SHTF? We shall see...

Well, I guess we’re doomed then. I suppose they are convinced they’re protecting America from the terrorists.
