Anecdotal but I find people in the tech world hostile to ex or serving military, at least in the UK.
It might just be the liberal bubble of London, but the sentiment I saw with some colleagues was.
- "Why would I want to serve, I am not a robot"
- "You have to have a screw loose to be able to kill someone"
This was in more eCommerce and design industry stuff in London, the defence sector could be more supportive of exmilitary, but I don't know.
