Funny what being in the military will do for a body -- I recently took at class at work for managers on "workplace violence" The instructor (and I use that very loosely) had been doing OK until he made a point that you "had to watch out for veterans - they could very violent"

I would have said something - but - the other 92% of the class beat me to it.... pointing up vets are actually less prone to violence, better able to work together, share the understanding of working for something greater than self, etc. The class ended right there & HR got quite and earful about respect. BTW, that "instructor" had never served.

They had the class again this week - new instructor, new provider......

I guess the old saw is correct about only two kinds of people understand Marines.....

I'm shock! But then I am easily shocked
