I see, got it...thx for that.
re your son...Im sure youre right. However, Im not his parent and suspect Id be treated much differently than you.
I might be prejudice but respect goes a long way, he also is a state trooper and as such, went through a very long and difficult selection process where some 50-70% were cut. He doesn’t have anything to prove.
I will tell you that he has had two knee surgeries due to chasing criminals over fences for which he received no workers compensation for the time he was off because he did not fill out the paperwork. And if he had filled out the paperwork he would have been looked down upon because he drew workers compensation. Their jobs are not easy as so many may think. They too have reports and paperwork that is required after they do their time on the road. He also is required to carry his weapon at all times, even when he is not on duty. The damage he is doing to his body in the line of work will show up as he ages.
He chose the profession and he will live with his choices. He nor I am complaining just sayin’. They all aren’t bad. I have no idea what he would do under martial law but I suspect he likes to feed his family. Those who have an alternative way of living will be the ones that will drop out. My son has an alternative but I still don’t know what he would do. But as his mother, I can see his life in peril in either situation.
