As you can see I’m also trying to being some sanity to this otherwise insane thread.
I agree with you that DoD employees are important no matter what their role. And they are almost uniquely called to serve in combat zones unlike almost all other “government employees.”
The tubby DoD auditor who shuttles from Baghdad to Mosul to Balad has a dangerous job nearly equal any uniformed soldier in the AOR.
