Is it just me ???

Is it just me or is there more and more whining form the police and military lately????
First off id like to say my heart and prayers sincerely goes out to those friends and family of the fallen police and military personnel . But at the same time all law enforcement and military service men and women , should realize that they indeed took the job and all the hazards that come with it . If you became a police officer or joined the service for the money your doing the wrong job . Sorry but i feel that there is a lot of whining going on about police and military . If you did not join the police department to Serve , Protect and Help make our community a safer and nicer place , please quit . After spending my whole life in downtown areas ill say that not all cops are bad , jut too many join for the wrong reasons .With that being said , the same goes for our armed forces !!! Why do people honestly think that if they join they wont see combat ??? Hello its the military and there main job is to fight . If you don't want to fight , don't take the collage money , there are other ways to go to school . Believe me i am very happy there are cops around ( good and bad ) and i could not hold our armed forces ( as a whole ) in higher respect . Its just a far too many of the people take these jobs take them for the wrong reason .YOU take these jobs out of Honer , Duty and Respect , not money .
To those who joined up for the money ,YOUR A DUMB ASS .
To those in the service who joined for what i would call the right reason , GREAT JOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK . We all owe you more than we can ever show or tell . Again thank you .

I don't see that it's any more prevalent now than it's ever been. And I got news for you...whining and bitching isn't limited to cops and the military.

Some members here when it comes to the trading post section.[Eek3]

You get money for making collages in the military?

I expected combat, but after a few trips I was burnt out. Some guys have spent more time deployed in the last nine years then they have spent at home.

Agreed.

Frankly, the thing that irritates me more, are those who've never served as a cop or military member complaining that cops and military personnel whine and complain too much. Until you've walked a mile in their shoes...

Now, I'm not directing the above at anyone in particular so no need to get your afterburners lit.

I couldn't come to any sort of a conclusion from reading your post, but have you served in the Military or worked in Law Enforcement?

Not sure if that was directed to the OP or me. In my case, yes. 32 years between the two.

OP, sorry for the confusion. I think unless you have served in either capacity, you shouldn't be questioning folks from either category. Just wondering if the OP has done either.
