LEO’s are trained to arrest individuals employing a “force continuum”.

Warriors are trained to kill individuals, destroy structures, infrastructures, industrial complexes, military bases, seize airports & cities and bring nations or dictators to their knees.

At the end of a day LEO’s get to take off their body armor and go home.

Warriors are deployed for years at a time in semi or non-permissive areas sleeping in their armor 24 hours a day.

LEO’s are trained to engage threats from about 21 feet.

Warriors are trained engage threats from over the horizon, from underground, from above, from the sea, and soon I’m sure, from space.

There is not one federal, state or local law enforcement agency that would last 30 seconds against a trained platoon of Marine Infantry. It’s not the big difference in men but their training and mindset.

Some of my best friends are LEO’s and they are just that, officers of the law, not warriors.

I agree with the above, but would like to add that there are plenty of soldiers/Marines who are not warriors and plenty of LEO's that are both.
