[QUOTE="Machdup1, post: 16296108, member: 65746"] Here is my .02. If you are easily offended, don’t read this. Most civilians have never sacrificed a day in their lives for something greater than themselves. Most could not even provide an example of true sacrifice in their lives if asked. Most have never known true hardship or opposition and are only willing to put the minimum effort forward to get through the day. They have known no mission in life and are confused by the concept of a mission in general. The concept of dying for the person next to them is completely foreign to them. They work less than eight hours per day and if you asked them to work a 24 hour shift during an emergency, they would quit. At the same time they want to complain about the minimal effort they put forth and want you to think they are sacrificing. They want to claim everyone is a hero for doing their job. So here is the deal. You cannot change them and you cannot change you. It’s their life, you do you and let them do them. You can only silently view them with derision and do the best for you that you can do, while getting what you can out of them. Find the folks around that have similar view points and do not engage with the lessor forms of life, unless they are smoking hot and you are single. In that one case, exception can be made on a temporary basis. [/QUOTE]
