Honestly I'm not a military fan, but in general they tend to be better trained and are actually a necessary evil, see Ukraine. Sometimes you need people to defend you from tyrants.

Cops are just so much worse, they are given all the privilege in the world and they have comfortable jobs, at least in the western world, yet they act like they are dodging 50cal rounds all day every day.

They think they are at war with the people they are supposed to be serving so this is never going to work.

That is absolutely how they think. I had to turn off an episode of "Dogs with Jobs" of all things because it pissed me off. There was one with a police dog and his handler talked about "the enemy" and I was like "you mean the community you serve, which may include some people suspected of crimes?"
