That’s a shame; nowadays when people go into those jobs I think they understand the politics more clearly (though they also may assume they have more job protections from a legal standpoint).
Now when you a see man with out Breathing apparatus clearly fifty years old go in into fully involved four story building and pull out a sixty old Hispanic lady from the second story apartment.
Politics not needed to happen to him on a retire. He was a needed man with expertise in his field. He was forced retire when he fifty five.
He lived another four years.
