Haha, it’s obviously very touchy for most. I find amusement in how feathers get ruffled over this issue. If you disagree with anything regarding this subject, the outright condescention and name calling is considered ‘okay’.
Hell, don't even have to disagree on this subject. Simply reporting the accurate observations of how things currently are in today's military is enough to bring forth flames of outrage from those who have either never served or served a long time ago when the military, and America, was a much different place.
Jeez, people! Don't shoot the messenger! I'm just posting how things are, not how we wish them to be.
And Firefighter, thank you for your service.
