I've had several Karate students that were Sirius vets.
A lot of them join the cops after they get back to civilization.
They have all been very much alike. Extremely soft spoken, VERY self confident and unable to keep their hands off my dogs
Going around Green land on a dogsled, just two guys is not easy.
One student told me that he and his partner had been getting seriously on each others nerves.
Knowing that they were utterly dependant on each other, they had decided on a vow of silence for the rest of their tour.
They only spoke of what was needed to get things done, and kept silent for the rest of the time.
Like I said, those are our most respected vets.
And yes, Stephen, The screening is HARD! Since those are the only real heroes we have, there are a lot of applicants to sort through.
Danes have never really taken to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, so the vets from there are not really celebrated.
Maybe because our former prime minister, now chief of NATO slipped the decision to join the wars through congress ( we c don't call it that, but it makes for an easy translation) with the slimmest marginal of yes votes, legally possible.
He was a great admirer of G.W. Bush and wanted to join in, to show his support for his American "friend".
