Is it just me ???

[CrufflerSteve]

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.

Excuse me but I can't leave this comment alone. Do you mean people who haven't served in the military or law enforcement shouldn't question the complaints of those do? That seems fair. Those who haven't walked in the shoes don't know what it is like.

Or, do you mean those that haven't served in the military or law enforcement have no right to criticize the actions of those doing such? If so, my comments would probably get me banned from here. Police state is not a highly regarded state for good reason. There are some heated threads about such right now.

no i have not done ether . during the time when i wanted to serve in the armed forces I was ineligible to serve . As a result i have done what i can buy working with the U.S.O and have taken a job that keeps me on base and in government faculties . Do i agree that people who serve in law enforcement and the military should get paid more YES I DO . The reason i say what say is far to often i hear people in service bitching that they have to endure danger at work . Yes doing dangerous things at work sucks big ass , and yes nobody should like doing them . But if you step up for the job that's the job .
Yes there are people who i have met ( too many ) that joined the service just for the collage money or G.I. benefits and this was the cause for the comment . As for the police I honestly wish they got paid more and that people handled there own problems more so they could catch criminals and not waste there time with peoples petty crap all day .
Like i said
"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 . "

Understand. But I gotta say I never heard anyone complain about danger on the job. Especially the cops I worked with. That's what we all lived for, as a matter of fact.

Mostly people bitched about long hours, relatively low pay, pain in the ass supervisors, lousy equipment, administrators, etc....

Let it rip! Ban hammers around here are extremely few and far between except for spammers.

But hurley842002 answered my question and I respect his response and have no issues with it. In fact, I agree with it. I suppose we could fight about who is more polite but that just isn't exciting.

That is the problem with this board. There might be a few eccentric types, like me, but it is actually a civilized place.

Perhaps the owner could have a Troll of the Week program and allow some truly vile subhuman in so we could all flail him for a day or two.

collage - it's one of those neat posters your kid makes by cutting up a bunch of photos and pasting it all together.

college - an institution of learning for educations beyond a high school diploma.

Thank god my 9/11 GI bill covers the latter. Much more expensive and time consuming.

Just sayin...
