If that's a fact, then you should easily be able to back it up with a source, or multiple sources.

If it's an opinion, well....

Fact: You don't know what you are talking about.

I am converting from nearly 20 years in the private sector to a DoD job doing the exact same thing. Only difference is I will be making less money as a government employee. I don't have to leave private industry - I choose to because the opportunity is there. I'm hoping better opportunities open up from this and it pays off in the long run. And the job security is better. Since things are a little rough these days, is it okay with you if I take a job for better security for my family?

While there are plenty of useless government workers, not all government workers are useless. And there is no place cooler to work than the Pentagon!
