[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the gov’t employee comparing themsleves to those who put their lives on the line in defense of our country and the taxpayers who pay your salary: just stop.[/quote] The vast majority of military NEVER see active combat. 20% of individuals MOS's are classified "combat arms," though the most dangerous MOS in recent years is a truck driver due to IED exposure. That said, a solid 70-75% of folks in the military will never be ducking bullets, returning fire or worried about IED risks. The vast majority are physically safe 24/7 throughout their career. That said, I do appreciate that these folks sacrifice time away family. It is a big strain. At the same time, I also greatly appreciate the sacrifices made by DoD, USAID, Dept of Ag (foreign-based), the IC, and State Dept that are also often in harm's way and/or spending great lengths of time away from their families.[/quote]
