They'd generally be more disciplined and physically fit / trained for combat. As long as they're screened otherwise, it seems like a great pool to draw from -- plus it helps out veterans.

> trained for combat

That was my point. Combat training in a military environment is not what you want on most civilian "bouncer" jobs. I'd imagine, anyways.

The military are well drilled in rules of engagement and waiting for fire orders. Far more so than your average bouncer or off-duty police officer. I heartily wish the police force were trained and disciplined like the military, it would remove a lot of the individual variation in responses.
