Familiarity with one of their systems or airframes. Knowing how the avionics systems on an F-16 is sort of transferrable to civilian aviation, but not really because of all the specialized systems involved that you wouldn't find on, say, a 747. On the other hand, having that knowledge when you're going to do field work as an electrical engineer doing shit like overseeing block upgrades means there's a lot of training that they don't have to put you through, especially if you have a secret or top secret clearance that hasn't lapsed. The clearance alone is worth a million or so USD to one of these companies.

If you're a troop (or ex-troop) who hasn't had that come-to-Jesus "are we the baddies?" moment yet, it's pretty damned tempting just by virtue of inertia. Keep in mind that American troops aren't exactly renowned for seeing the big picture or the consequences of their actions, especially in non-combat roles.

Listen, Jack, us POC (People of Corpulence) prefer the term "gourmand."

The Death of Stalin (2017), starring Steve Buscemi as :corn-man-khrush:, Michael Palin as :molotov:, Jeffrey Tambor as a sex pest (off-camera), and Jason Isaacs as Field Marshal Zhukov. Produced by the :LIB: behind Veep and In the Loop, so pretty ahistorical and full of praise for the corn lord.

[Zhukov] A modern soldier's greatest fear, it's not death, it's not starvation, it's chafing!

[Khrushchev, interjecting] ...And then he planted the flag in Hitler's bunker or he knocked the bear out with one punch.

[Zhukov] ...It was Goebbels's bunker, not Hitler's!

At least he gets dragged in the replies. It's oddly heartwarming to see that people are getting fed up with shitlib civility discourse.

No offense, @Civility

This has some real "say what you will about pedophiles, but at least they slow down while driving through school zones" vibes.

Electric Wizard moved from Witchfinder to the independent label Creep Purple Records in 2018, and in the years since then, that label has signed and heavily promoted a Nazi black metal act ("Black Magick SS"), to the point that they currently make up about a third of the label's releases:

Relevant bit from the article:

Electric Wizard’s newest single Lucifer’s Satantic Daughter was made for a film of the same name. Its soundtrack features at least two artists who extensively use Nazi imagery in their branding.

Grey Area Films, who produced the film Lucifer’s Satanic Daughter and Electric Wizard’s new music video released on Christmas, posted album art on social media that contained several swastikas. The iconography was self-censored, which they draw attention to in their post by calling it “(((censored)))”.

The use of triple parentheses, often called “echoes”, are commonly used to denote suspected Jewish influence as an act of deliberate antisemitism.
