I'm really torn on this.

While my respect for the firefighters knows no bounds, I can remember reports at the time that they, and all of te other workers at Ground Zero were determined to do their work, regardless of the dangers involved.

I got a bad feeling,too.I am reminded of the real men don't wear motorcycle helmets syndrome.

Am I the only one who is tired of the whining of the firefighters? This is a little like lifetime smokers whining that they didn't know that there was danger. Of course there was danger and I'm sure that there is some permanent damage and they should be compensated. Now, is it necessary to trash people in the process? This is more of the liberal mental process that the government has to keep us from all harm.
