The worst part about that is that they actually HAVE to engage people like that in basically any conversation that might lead to a recruiting. Had the guy told the furry to fuck off and quit wasting my time like he should have there would have been backlash, public outrage, overreacting officers and sensitivity training, not to mention a summary trial and extra duties.
Because you have to take people's feelings into account when you're signing them up to be fucking shot at.
