I actually prefer the term Veteran...
Doesn't really matter to me what branch of service either, other than to be able to sit down with a fellow patriot and talk shop...
And to be perfectly candid, IMHO, you never really stop serving either...
I still consider the oath I took, to be a welcome obligation till they plant me...

As to why one shouldn't talk about such an incident, if the DA is a jerk, it's possible for him to make a statement look incriminating. It's also possible for the criminals' relatives or friends to misuse statements.
If I am ever involved in a self-defense incident that requires more action than yelling or running, I am not going to talk about it except to my lawyer.

PLANTATION -- One gunman is dead and another is in critical condition after they tried to rob a sandwich store and were shot by an armed customer Wednesday night, authorities said.
Two armed, masked men entered a Subway restaurant at 1949 N. Pine Island Rd. and demanded money at about 11:17 p.m., said Detective Robert Rettig, a police spokesman.
They then attempted to rob the lone customer by forcing him into the restroom but the customer, who was legally armed, pulled his gun and fired.
One of the suspects was struck in the chest and the other was struck in the head and chest, Rettig said.
When police arrived, they found one of the suspects unconscious in the store.
The police's K9 unit found the second suspect later hiding in a hedge in front of a nearby bank at the Jacaranda Square shopping center, officials said.
The men were taken to the hospital. The suspect who was shot in the head and chest died. The second suspect was in critical but stable condition, investigators said.
Police said the customer appeared to have shot in self-defense.
"...as opposed to the idea that the customer was an opportunistic son of a bisquit eater?"
Charges are pending against the surviving suspect, Rettig said. No identifies have been released.
The shopping center remained closed Thursday morning as police hunted for a gun carried by the robbery suspects.

Headline should actually read:
"Customer with gun "fatally stops" one armed robber, seriously wounds the "other" robber at a Subway restaurant."
Hey, was this on Turkey Breast day, or Meatball Marinara???
