Nervous in the service?

That’s 85% of it. There is also the fact that a standard counter to an ambush is suppressive “mad minute” directed at the would be ambushers.

Lastly, there are sometimes people who use a crisis to ‘cut loose’ in some evil way. Often this a bigoted person who, feeling free of normal restraints, can indulge his paranoia and desire to ‘defend himself and his community’ from whoever he feels ‘the enemy’ is (the male pronoun is used here because this sort of act of bigoted violence is almost always perpetrated by men). The crisis can give him a cover story for his murderous actions. Think of the black civilians shot on that bridge in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.
