"The vast majority of new hire policemen are from the military. This is just a fact...I built a police academy in south Georgia and I am certain of what I am saying. Just north of Brunswick GA is the FLETCH of which I was the architect and general contractor."

You designed a police academy building and had it funded. I don't see the relevance to your claim, although it appears that you might have some resources to further influence laws and policies. I see that you're in Georgia, though. My father saw some unpatriotic attitudes in business in that part of our country, when he was an infantry soldier during the early 1950s.

Anyway, go ahead. Meanwhile, I'll tell clean-cut, young men that the service might not be a good option for now. There have been too many negative assumptions about men of prior enlisted combat specialties from quite a few political constituencies and offices in politics. It might also be a good idea to keep more quiet about my prior service in business and political circles. Should have done so long ago.

Our nation is an immoral mess. We need new leadership in business, politics and academia. The opportunity will come soon after the other end of the current default process caused by political correctness and lack of manufacturing--generally, the feminization of our nation.

I don’t much disagree with you, I’m just damned disgusted with things generally.

I’m retired now and have a lot of time to watch the “wildest police video” genre shows and they almost always identify each officer as a former so and so military person.

You can’t go a day without some headline about someone’s dog being shot or someone’s grandma being tasered. We equip these whelps with the most expensive offensive weapons available and train them to a razors edge and wonder why they go off like grenades.
