>those in positions to hire should not hire those with backgrounds in government

I find the revolving door between government and private industry troubling but I'm not sure it would be a good idea to employ such a ban.

This is obviously very anecdotal but I have two prior service friends, one an infantry Marine, the other a Navy Cryptologic Technician, and they are the two most anti war, anti mass surveillance people I know. Far more so than most of my other friends who don't have any military experience, and my social circle tends to lean heavily liberal.

I concur. Some of the most talented, guv skeptics I have met began their careers in military roles(eg:education & training). A blanket ban would be no different than a witch hunt in terms of justice and harm to falsely accused.
