Using ex-military as guards at schools

[mmckee1952]

Think of this, there are a lot of ex-military persons with combat experience unemployed out there, why don’t we hire them to stand guard on our schools? I’m sure each individual city could come up enough money to cover the costs, hell they could probably receive a grant from the government to cover most of it.
Granted the selection process will need to really in depth,, including a complete psy evaluation and only hire the ones who have a honorable discharge, but this should be really thought about.

Ummmmm......not so much.

I'm not that sure this could work out. With all due respect to all the vets out there, I don't think I would want a battle harden vet guarding children. That and the cost would be a lot, with benefits and supervision and uniforms and training and everything else to do what you're saying.

Just a thought, it could fix two problems, protect the kids and give the many vets out there who can’t find a job now a viable honorable worthwhile income.

Many returning vets have PTSD, and for good reason. While the suggestion is good, those veterans would need some special screening. Not dissing vets, I am deeply indebted for your sacrifices so that we may all be free.
