And, there are so many jobs being performed in each of the military services. To say the skill sets don't transfer well, is using a pretty broad brush.
Just so you are all aware, the vast majority of LEO are college graduates.

I'll grant that for paramilitary organizations, personal with military training is a real boon.
That's kind of the crux if the issue. A militarized police force is bad for America, and bad for her citizens imho.

I do not understand how grading at a school has to do with anything here.

Just because one was in the military does not mean they were a soldier.
A member of the military is by definition a soldier. 4 out of 4 dictionaries agree.

Dictionaries can say what they want. There is a huge difference between being a soldier on paper and then being a soldier in reality.
Your assertion would not seem to be supported - "college graduates" are customarily considered to have BA or BS degrees, not AA.

To be fair, imho I do think an AA degree IS a college degree.
But usually people don't boast about having one. And AA degrees are typically not an end in and of themselves (unless it's for a 'trade' degree like CJ). Typically AA degrees are part of a person's plan to get a BA from a 4 year institution.
The experience and skill set do not transfer well.

I see a lot of parallels here with what some of us have self with while open carrying. Sure the guy was a criminal, but the rangers didn't know that. If they would have followed the Constitution and not chased him down, a tragedy would have not happened.
This has gotten way off topic.
So, he refused to stop at a "safety checkpoint". I hate to say it, but, maybe if the rangers hadn't been so zealous in chasing down someone who didn't want to stop at an illegal checkpoint, they wouldn't have been fired upon. Maybe they should have just let him go.
Say you come to a checkpoint like this... "Why am I being detained?"
"We need to make sure you have chains on and your vehicle is safe to go further up the mountain.".
" It's none of your business, I will take responsibility for my own welfare, and unless you have a warrant, I'll be going on."
