[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3530307, member: 5800"] Last estimates I saw on the veteran side ranged around 20M with sources from the VA, DoD and others all being +/- on the topic. An example there is: [URL]https://www.statista.com/topics/3450/veterans-in-the-united-states/[/URL] On the LEO side, most numbers hover around 700k active, without a whole lot of statistics on total former. But heck, let's give a 20x margin and say that it's 20M as well. [URL]https://www.statista.com/statistics/191694/number-of-law-enforcement-officers-in-the-us/[/URL] That'd combine to 40 million in the US, which I think rounds up generously to be on the safe side. The population of the US, depending on results of the census, is estimated around 330 millon, with some margin depending on the source of estimation. So even on the vastly overestimated high side, that gives us a total current/former estimate of around 12% of the US population whereas the early numbers are suggesting that 20-25% of the people at the Capitol were current/former LEO's with estimates varying at publish date as new data continues to come in. [URL]https://thehill.com/policy/defense/535321-nearly-one-in-five-people-charged-in-capitol-riot-have-military-history[/URL] The numbers in that last article, for reference, cite the percentages as 7% and 20% for genpop versus the 6th.
