[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2897306, member: 9374"] Seriously? Wow... well, in my experience, those guys who spend so much time sitting around waiting for the worst moments of the average citizens' lives to happen are the ones who are running full speed into the worst situations, too. Like the Dallas cops who were running TOWARDS the sounds of gunfire while citizens were running away. Yes, there are many people who have jobs that require sacrifice on a personal level... and many jobs that are dangerous and have a certain amount of danger or heavy labor involved. But individuals who serve in careers that routinely require them to risk their lives, their safety, and their mental health (which is a MUCH bigger problem than the general beer-swilling public understands or grasps) are, in my opinion, in a class apart. And many, many, many of these public servants don't do it for the glory, for the money or anything else - just because they feel called, they can't imagine themselves doing anything else. Soldiers, cops, medics, firemen, other public-safety professions - these are a class apart, in my opinion. Ridge, I am sure this was probably just to tweak some peoples' noses, but the crap those guys deal with is in a whole other realm than 99.9% of other civilian citizens. [/QUOTE]
