If you are or were military, you know “chair warmers” who make it possible for you to do your job every single day and you recognize that DoD civilians and military are a team
For many years the nation has been content to keep the size of our all-volunteer armed forces at a level not requiring a draft by using DoD civilians and contractors to carry out many defense-related activities.
Remember that the brave men who took up arms to try to save the US ambassador in Benghazi and died there, were “contractors”... not that anyone cared to deride them as chair warmers
Now, the chairwarmer at the White House? Not so much part of the team
The brave folks in Benghazi were not warming chairs in D.C. You insult their names by comparing them to the fat in Washington.
