[quote:Dr.DoomLittle:MV8yMDQ4NzEzXzM0NjA2OTQwX0MyMzlBOTdG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 25009119:MV8yMDQ4NzEzXzUxNTRDOTNB] Soldiers are NOT heroes. They are working stiffs just like the rest of us. They are doing NOTHING to "protect our freedom" here at home. They agreed to the conditions of employment to which they volunteered and are being compensated for. Nothing more. STOP all of this BULLSHIT HERO WORSHIP about soldiers. [/quote] You are correct. Respect is paid because of appropriate dominance only. Respect of their training; respect for their behavior as gentlemen. Nothing after that. But realistically; a 4 year degree is worthless where 4 years in the military means you can still get a good job. Its the way the system works; so i wouldn't encourage anyone to join the military but we really cant condemn them either. [/quote]
