Despite popularity of #military themed video games and collecting #firearms in the #UnitedStates, ( a country that has more guns than citizens), the US #ArmedForces , #CorrectionalInstitutions & #Police Dept's are unable to find eager and qualified #recruits who want to #opencarry as part of their careers in America's authoritarian armed frontline ranks

Chronically understaffed #prisons are oft operating with fractions of req'd employees, having low morale guards work 16hr shifts, leading to sloppy mishaps, unchecked #inmate violence, and even escapes

Cities across the country all claim their police depts are #understaffed with budgeted positions going unfilled for years, as attrition and early retirements further exacerbate #LEO levels despite offering #hiring bonuses.
