This is a good point regarding ex military.  But only serious types.

Good example: A lot of Israeli's go to Thailand after finishing their mandatory service with the IDF.   I've lost count of how many of these blokes end up getting their arses handed to them by Thai "Street fighters" using bottles, knives, pool cues etc. despite being a half of the size of the roided up soldiers.

Last year I'm pretty sure the Israeli ambassadors son got killed and his bodyguards sustained some pretty serious injuries around Koh Pha Ngan.  Those guys would have had hands on experience, probably experts in Krav Maga etc. but a few locals who know the place and have been in dozens if not hundreds of fights with large groups of aggressive tourists beat the living hell out of them.
