When the police are trying to arrest non-citizens halfway around the world with 3 days without sleep and 2 of their best buddies killed by a mortar and hundreds of suspects are all around killing hostages and shooting at you with AKs and RPGs THEN you can start holding soldiers to the same level as police who write traffic tickets 95% of the day in an airconditioned squad car and get to go home to a hot meal cooked by their families. |
I believe that Missileer was referring to deadly force incidents involving the Police. Not the total mission of the Police Vs the Military. The Missions are vastly different with different objectives and procedures.
However I will say you have very little understanding of my current occupation. I've written maybe 5 traffic summons in the last year,I've missed more than my share of home cooked meals. I have however expieranced several moments of high pucker factor while serving Narcotics Search Warrants, executing Fugitive Warrants, and responding to Shhotings Stabbings and Unknown disturbances.
While LEO work may not be the constant stress of a combat enviroment. It ain't the Cake walk you make it out to be.
