Sounds to me like he just wanted to be Rambo for a minute. With the wars drawing down... we have a lot of combat veterans who are prime candidates for positions within the FBI, police departments, CIA, etc. These guys are highly valued for having been in combat (and some positions within the FBI this is an absolute must.) I wonder if it's going to be a problem having ex soldiers and Marines policing the streets. My understanding was that Brelo is a veteran; not sure if he was in combat or not.
