Where do you get this? Get real...
These people do a job like anyone else and they get paid really, really well, and have top shelf government benefits...
They have *nothing* to do with military veterans or veteran combat deaths...
Gezzzz
Well, my granddad was a firefighter in Britain from about 1950 to 1981, so he wasn’t paid particularly lavishly (in those days, having a job with a pension was lavish enough). But he did a job that involve going in to burning buildings and dragging people out on a fairly regular basis, risking death each time. Sure, it wasn’t exactly comparable to the military, because when they got off shift they could go home to their families and enjoy all the other benefits of civilian life, but when they are on duty, they are doing a dangerous and worthy job and some of them end up paying with their lives. My grandad watched his best friend fall to his death through the floor of a burning mill at one point, and eventually, he probably died as the result of a lot of the crap he inhaled in the days before there was proper breathing apparatus.
Like I said, I believe that firefighters, police etc who are killed in the line of duty are entitled to the same respect and honour as a serviceman who has also been killed in the line of duty. What you might consider about them when they are alive and unharmed is probably a bit different...
‘These people do a job like anyone else’
How quickly everyone forgets 9/11.
