Theres many things to like about cops and soldiers, and i just can't decide. This is a toughie. Help me out. DO NOT say mean things about cops or soldiers in this thread, and do NOT be sarcastic or ironic. It is ok to talk poo poo about soldiers, but only to make cops look better, and vice versa, and you still have to make clear that you love them both, you just love one kind more than the other.

I think soldiers are probably braver than cops, but then again, maybe that's just because of propaganda.

Full disclosure: I'm leaning heavily towards soldiers here, but I figure theres probably some good arguments for cops I'm just not thinking of

Also, to be fair, to I actually love bravery? I mean, I admire it, but I guess if you ask me what I love, what I love is empathy, and by a slim margin I think maybe cops have more empathy than soldiers. Would love it if someone would speak up about this. I'm feeling confused.

thing about cops is that they are more likely to help pets get down from out of trees they are stuck in and that heavily increases the  factor in the ranking

Soldiers definitely have cooler items. At least until recently. Now cops have some soldier items, plus they have their own special items.

Cops intervene to prevent domestic abuse, which is admirable. I don't think soldiers are likely to do that, because they're doing other things.

When I think about a cop...I just...I don't feel the love, really. I don't imagine a cop cradling me in her arms and stroking my hair. That doesn't seem like something a cop would do. I am able to imagine asoldier lady doing that, however, and that makes me think I love soldiers more.

I was thinking about this but really, they're just a kind of cop, more than they are a kind of soldier (correct me if I'm wrong!)

soldier cops do soldier things and cop things but the things that they do from each world are all really pretty boring and neutral so you don't have soldier cops helping the elderly or going on patrol beyond a military base, plus you don't have them doing rad missions where they can jump through a busted door and act super macho with a gun mounted on a flashlight saying really cool commands to their team mates and doign that cool handsign where they tell them to move forward

cops have to deal with a lot of bad stuff and so when they lean in to kiss their loved ones those bad things come to mind like the 20+ hours of reports he has to do or the one time he pulled over a rude driver

i feel like cops tell you how to do good, and soldiers tell you not to do bad, so when they come home the cops are still giving orders but the soldiers dont have to give orders unless you try and put an IED in the driveway or soemthing

Cop: Make me dinner. Clean your room. Do your taxes.
Soldier: When you use the blender it makes me frightened, and I can't go in your bedroom because there's a coke can on the floor and we dont have abomb disposal unit. But do what you want.

There's a lot more propaganda about how soldiers are good than there is about how cops are good, I think, so I'm afraid that maybe I'm getting "spun."

security forces it a catchall. there are different functions within the career field but all of them are deployable. so when they are here in the US sure thats typically what they do but overseas they do the aforementioned badass things.
e: there are exceptions. for example im stationed at an ICBM base so they have a section dedicated to going out to the missile field to secure missile sites while maintenance is going on, driving in convoys to get parts to and from the field, and responding to alarm situations at the sites.

Like it's still ok to have a soldier movie about a soldier guy where's he's a big hero and cares about his country, but if you have a cop movie the cops have to be flawed and dirty and cheat on their wives and stuff

think about our exposure to the private lives of soldiers. mostly heartwarming videos of a soldier's homecoming, embracing the spouse and the child they haven't seen in a year 
now think about what we know about cops home lives. Its mostly from family matters. while karl is clearly a loving father we see fewer images overall of tenderness, more of funny family antics and situational comedy
i guess for americans, when soldiers are home they're not on the job exactly, but cops come home and then the next day they have to go back out and cop some more. must be tense. I imagine cops at home sitting in dark dens, angrily watching tv, the flickering light illuminating the stack of beer cans next to the chair, dreading the next day
