Such things are not necessary in good civ-mil. Moreover, the concern wasn't empty. Veterans make up c. 6% of the general population, but seem to have made up something like 20% of early arrests in the Capitol Insurrection: https://www.npr.org/2021/01/21/958915267/nearly-one-in-five-defendants-in-capitol-riot-cases-served-in-the-military?utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=twitter.com … 13/25
In your thread, I think you make a good point about combat experience not being nearly so big an indicator as the media made it out to be. Of course, as a Roman historian, I'd be remiss if I didn't note that the praetorians seem to have rarely had combat experience either...

I think his point about combat experience not being a factor tracks with the study in TSNR that you posted. Therein, the authors point out that the less experienced were more likely to posit feelings of superiority.

I think that coupled with some sense of inferiority to those who have seen a lot of combat, or a sense of having missed out on one’s chance to prove themself all factor in here. Just spitballing though, no hard data.
