Hm...I am curious what the corporate security forces (and most of the other militaries) actually DID in peacetime. Maybe lots of nullsec ground warfare or something.

What do militaries do on the peacetime?

And then add to that that in EVE "peace" means "fighting without headlines". There's still a whole lot of things left to be done. Policing, corporate security, intelligence, counterintelligence, sabotage, counterterrorism, monitoring the pirate groups, monitoring your own workers, monitoring revolutionaries, exfiltration (hiring your competitor's employee), objective raids.

And for the ex-corp sec guys, the list just grows, as they are deniable resources ("no, it wasn't Peace and Order Unit that did abduct that Lai Dai researcher, honest"). And even more if they're willing to turn a blind eye on law, or work in the lawless regions.

If nothing else they train.

Correct.

Sweat more in training, bleed less in battle.

 :ugh: Sort of been going downhill with the last several quotes.  Not exactly profound statements from a Federation senator or an Amarrian High Deacon...

I think CCP focuses too much on cynical "hurr name your price / I only fight for a price / Life sucks but money doesn't". It's like a Russian who overquotes Scarface on his facebook.

Nothing too :grimdark: about those last few quotes, they just sound cheesy and hollow.  Want less "makes it blow up real good" (incredibly that's verbatim) and more:

Quote
A soldier used to fight for country.  Or for God.  Or for nothing more the man next to him.
Why?  Because, staring death in the face, he had to know he was fighting for something more, something bigger than himself.
Thankfully, we've evolved.
Now a soldier can fight for what really matters: profit.

How about the name being just an oversight from the CCP.
