MODERATORS
Cops have a saying, "We don't catch the smart ones." It is self selection, a lot of it.
That saying started with the recruitment process, that it also applies to the criminals is just a natural consequence.
It's kind of concerning actually that that's what the military can produce. Someone with the self preservation instincts of the depressed lemming.
