In an interview with Fox 59, a Morgan County, Indiana Police Sergeant admits that the increasing militarization of domestic police departments is partly to deal with returning veterans who are now seen as a homegrown terror threat.

Personally I might be a little out of touch on this one. But just looking for feeback on how we as Veterans might be able to educate society. Because apparently whatever is going on now it is not working. And we ask each other why can't we get a job? Or where is the help we were promised when we got back. For a majority of Americans, I do believe they support us. But for others I really am not so sure. I leave it open to discussion.

Returning veterans, gangs, drug dealers, cults, or 17" shotgun barrels. Police want to militarize; they will use whatever excuse is convenient.

It's just a shame that they are so willing to choose vets as the scapegoat/excuse of the day.

Part of the problem with this line of thinking comes from a very real lesson learned in the Iraq War. What happens when you take a group of experienced and dangerous men and let them loose in a civilian population with no sense of purpose or means of employment to feed their families?
When a US Congress filibusters bills that were intended to address that specific issue, proactive police departments interested in maintaining the peace are forced to militarize. We all grew up on "Rambo"... isn't that the way all homeless Vets behave???
In truth, we do represent a danger, but more often than not, it is to ourselves rather than the community we went forth to defend and has since abandoned us.
