Wes,

Based on the responses and how I read them, it's not so much that people think you are just going to go in and be a killer, it's moreso that people want you to look past your career in the armed forces and see what you want to do then. If your chosen path leaves you with no advantages after your service you will regret it (as stated and implied).

And no disrespect to anyone or anything but what's in red is not a great way of looking at things IMO. Do you really think that thought will make you happy in 20 years if you are still struggling in a dead-end low-paying job? Somehow I doubt it.
