Jorge, I do not have disdain for the military. PERIOD. Stop that.
I do think it's funny when someone who was career public-sector employee gets preachy about an issue like this. And here's a hint. My parents both worked public-sector. I'm not putting it down; it's a good gig. But if you think you have a clue about the stresses this type of stuff puts on Joe Sixpack, I'm skeptical.
Free market guys, and I am one, kinda, love to say that people losing jobs or careers to market forces can just retrain and/or relocate. Guess what happens nine times out of ten in that situation? You lose your insurance. Guess wat happens when you go to get insurance? Your PEC's are denied. Guess what you are most likely to need heath care for? Is this.... clicking?
C'mon. You were career public sector. So was Pat. IIRC, TRH comes from money and has dabbled in teaching. You guys gonna lecture the rest of us on this?! Based on what experience, exactly?
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
