I am currently at the CATM course here in SA with a fellow who once worked in KC as an officer.....He didn't have much nice to say.....he preferred to not say anything. I have spoken to a few other officers on this subject. I personally have no interest in working with someone who has a past gang affiliation or a drug history, same goes for a DUI. Thankfully our current Chief feels the same. I understand people make mistakes, but some things are not really "forgivable" to LEO's. If you get up on the stand to testify in a DUI or drug case and the attorney for the defense asks if you have ever used drugs, and you have, how would that look??

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
