Powerful read. I try not to agree with some retired White cops who say the reason why White cops return to America from Middle Eastern urbanized conventional warfare theaters of operation, join police forces and readily shoot people of color without a moments hesitation is they visually relate them as being the same enemy. I say they should know better, they should have the ability to separate the military and civilian law enforcement ROE especially in shoot, no shoot incidents. However we all agree that after WWII the V.A. stopped their military to civilian life re-acclimation program and that's where a major part of the problem lies with vets still ramped up in psychological "Kill or be killed mode" returning back to the world exploiting the national 5+ point test award for law enforcement qualifying entrance exams only to flashback to the urbanized Middle Eastern war zones. I have an awful lot of company about just exploiting our new high tech autonomous air weapons platforms like the Predator and Reaper Drone Program. The manned upgraded Spector, Thunderbolt II and nuclear de-rated Lancer all with standoff attack capabilities (For pilot and weapons officer safety and survivable engagement) for aviation warfare backed by seaborne Aegis Class weapons platforms with medium to long range cruise missiles. It is no longer the times of past when a commander in charge of men prepared to die for our freedom yelled: Don't shoot until you see the whites their eyes.
