Okay, I have had enough of politicians pandering to each other with comments like, "HIs service to this country..." WHAT SERVICE? Unless they end up in prison, what politician has left office with less money than what he went into office with? These guys are well paid for their JOB and they have made sure they get one of the best pension plans in the world.
Unlike the military, politicians do not risk their lives or health any more than any other citizen. Many people SERVE their country, but it isn't politicians in Washington DC.

Do Elected officials SERVE their country? Absolutely not. But most are SELF SERVING!

I agree. I'm tired of hearing about "public service." Let them serve one or two terms and then return to an economically productive job. I know we need government, but the participants in it shouldn't be getting rich at it.

I believe it was Steinbeck who told the story of taking a cow to a neighboring farm to be “serviced” by a bull. His punchline: “Now whenever I hear about service, I wonder who’s getting screwed.”

Funny....all of them seem to become millionaire’s while “serving” as opposed to our military.

Can it really be service when so many are doing it?
Not likely!
