But not the kind of sociability or even home protection training one would expect in a family pet. I hate to use the language of the left, but K-9 and military-trained dogs are "weapons of war."
No. Those dogs aren't trained to be Tasmanian devils. They are trained to attack ON COMMAND. If you think they considered the dogs unbridled weapons of war they would take them to elementary schools or do interviews with reporters?

They keep them under fairly tight control around others - until it's time not to. Some of the dogs have a "mode" and when they're set to "on" they are much more likely to go off than if they are home. They do have difficulties in retirement because of this and often need to stay with their former handlers because of their training and disposition.
I agree it's not the same as having a pit bull of unregulated breeding around the babies - sure, a lot of them are great dogs, but it is still like having unexploded ordnance in the kids' toy box.
Professionally trained dogs are at a lower risk of this, I'll agree.
