My opinion has nothing to do with people who have been in combat.
The forces does a terrible job preparing people for the workforce.
You are told what to do, when to do it, and how. If you are an NCM you are taught that you can't think for yourself and to follow orders. If you're an officer you are taught you are above everyone and that your subservient lacks the intelligence to make decisions.
You can draw your own conclusions on what that looks like in the workplace.
I know people who have left the forces and excelled, but they were driven and had short military careers because they didn't buy in to that mentallity.
The longer someone has been in the forces the slimmer the odds they will adapt to the real world.
