No wonder there is such a gap in the whole mentality of military vs law enforcement even though there is a lot of cross training and cross career paths which mesh with each other.

The really big difference being the unions that people get in law enforcement, and those sweetheart contracts. Military personnel get educated on UCMJ real quick, and figure out that the "individual" really has next to no rights under it. Of those few rights that you do have, if you assert them, automatically results in federal court level court martials which don't even have much of an appeals process. Get convicted by a "jury" of your superiors, get reduced in rank, tossed to the brig, ejected from service, that's that.
