[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't work for a military family unless they are like the PP described. Even that, I'm not sure. I'm from a very peaceful country (I'm not American) that doesn't go to war so for me it would be hard to support that kind of family. Also, I feel like there would be a lot of job creep and extra hours or weekends with a military/single parent family. Check if they have local back up of family in the area. If not, it will be you probably pivking up the slack.

No offence intended to military families, I am a visitor in your country but I am entitled to my own beliefs and values.[/quote]

I am always amazed to see statements like this on DCUM going unchallenged for the bigotry it is. Would a statement like this ever fly about an LGBT family, or an immigrant family? Try it: I am from a country that  doesnt share LGBT values, so it would be hard for me to support that kind of family.

Sounds gross, right? But so many on here have no issues at all making the same kind of sweeping generalizations about military families that would not be tolerated about any other social/cultural/religious group. What is it about some progressives (and I died in the wool democrat lefty artist, make no mistake) that they are so protective against bigotry, unless of course, it is a group they deem unworthy? You clearly don't know the first fucking thing about military families, so when you say you are entitled to your values and beliefs I can only you mean you value shallow assessments and broad-sweeping stereotypes of specific groups you know little about.[/quote]

Agree.

Also, hardly anyone in the military is pro-war.  Just FYI.

And you're not a visitor if you're working here.  You're either a resident, in which case you're taking advantage of the benefits of having a standing military, or you're working illegally, in which case you have no room to talk about - well, anything.[/quote]
