In all my time commuting, I've run across those types. Didn't matter if it was a regional or a legacy.

For what its worth, most of the FFDO's I know should never have been accepted into the program, and those that should were denied.
Meh, opinions will vary on who should and shouldn't be selected. There's plenty of cops that wanted to become one because they were tired of getting their a$$ kicked, or feel te need to have to kick peoples a$$es due to this affliction you speak of.
But I've known people that were turned down with mil backgrounds. One was a gaurd pilot, the other was a firearms instructor.
