You have an odd collection of some insight married to pointless aggression. As you guess, I wasn't in that field for ALL that long, after academy, a bit less than a year of actual work. What happened was I found someone who was doing something he shouldn't have been, crossed the "thin blue line" and promptly found myself un-employable in that particular field. I've never had occasion to feel I made a mistake though--I'd make the same choice. So, no, I'm not a lifer, and nor did I ever claim to be one.
I do expect an apology for the stolen valor crap. That's a serious accusation, dead wrong, and unwarranted. I expect better from you.
