My point was that military service isn't always a career for people who are simply patriotic and have a USA flag tattoo on their back. A lot of people join the military because it's a way out of poverty. They even advertise it in the commercials man (GI bill, paid college, etc).

So this proves what? Houston has comparable violent crime to some of the worst metros and cities for crime in the U.S? Okay, thanks? Neighborhood Scout determined that Houston is only safer than 5% of the cities in the entire database. I guess shoot first, ask questions later doesn't really make Houston a safer place.
That type of ROE might be appropriate for a military battlefield, but it's ignorant and stupid when used as a form of self defense in the home. Just ask Oscar Pistorius.
