Their training is to kill. It’s in the conduct and pros caution of war.
They might be better trained, but that training is not applicable to any law enforcement activity.
And it’s absolutely not fucking applicable to exercise your rights as an American citizen to vote.

Not all of them. I worked cyber systems in the Air Force and Air National Guard. I served State Active Duty during the 2018 election cycle (we didn’t go to any polling places and were told to wear civilian clothes in case we had to so we didn’t disturb people). During our basic training we spent all of half a day at a range learning to shoot. Not exactly a ton of learning how to kill. Most people in the military aren’t taught how to kill. There are far more people doing logistics work than doing the deadly stuff.

Their training is to kill. I was in the Air Force, and our training included more about hand-to-hand non-lethal crowd control than actual killing.
