Ah, thanks for clarifying. But still, my understanding is that military personal are generally aware of their nationalistic-mortality (for lack of a better term) when they are in active duty, but expect to relinquish that mortality risk after they leave the military.
Has that changed in any way? Maybe I'm naive, but it seems to me that there was always a massive distinction between a service member who is currently serving, regardless of whether it's a combat or hq role, and a veteran.
The Internet/OSINT, primarily, if you want an honest answer.
They’re looking for lots of people with security clearances, right now, reportedly…kind of the same thing. Once you’re under the flag, you’re on the board - right, wrong, or indifferent.
