This was during War time that may make a difference. Had a little Police Action going on.

Just the war zone or everywhere you were at while in the military? Like in transport to and from the warzone you has your weapon with you on the plane or ship?
The possibility of students dying accidentally if armed teachers were in every school is a very real one. The likelihood that a gun could be taken, used by a student against others, used by a teacher who snapped, or other accidental deaths, would be greater than the chance of a mass shooting ever happening.

Which is a minimal risk that would be dealt with on a school to school(state to state ?) bases. Let the people vote on it. I and my daughters that have children would feel better knowing their teacher was armed. If the program proved to be a failure, it would be easy to end. Doing nothing on school sites and instead whining for gun control is not a viable option.

Your Concerns are valid.
The odds are against any mass shooting ever happening again are immense.
There is no reason to recruit teachers to carry to school. It is reasonable to allow teachers who have been trained to carry by individual permit. Then add signage replacing gun free zone decals with a big warning sign:
INDIVIDUALS IN THIS BUILDING ARE ARMED AND TRAINED TO PROTECT OCCUPANTS AND ARE AUTHORISED TO USE DEADLY FORCE.
