Oh, Geez, you’re going to include ‘fire-fighter’ in your list of ‘potentially life-threatening service’? You are just a picture of politically correct, liberal media driven cliches. The fact that you list ‘fire-fighter’ but don’t list ‘police officer’ exposes how influenced you are by the left, and it infects your logic in this entire thread.

Anybody who runs toward a fire instead of away, and does so to serve strangers does put himself in a life-threatening situation. You ever do it? Of course not but I bet you've stood on the sidelines often enough.

I don't list police officers? What do you think LEOs are?

It is duly noted that you do not claim to have volunteered for any of these dangerous jobs.

Here's another of raptor29's "cowards". With his (now widowed) wife.

Captain John McDermid was killed by a roadside bombing as he led a patrol of Afghan troops in the lawless Helmand Province of southern Afghanistan.

I have have yet to here how many times that great expert on cowardice, raptor29, has risked his life for his country.

In US during the ten year period ending with 2007 there were 1,447 recorded Fire Fighter deaths in the line of duty. During the same period there were 1,533 LEO (Police Officers to you) killed in the line of duty.

There was an average of 80,000 fire fighter line of duty injuries per year in the same period.

Yeah, it is a dangerous job.
