Bad News For The Unemployed

Im actually a contractor for the DOD. I support the troops directly as I work with them on a daily basis. Any other questions?

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

How do you support them?
What do you do?
Being a contractor could mean just about anything.

I can see where you are going with this. But because my work is cleared (meaning securtiy clearance) I cannot disclose that info. Any other questions?

Hey guess what Dumb *** I am diabetic and can't join the military to SERVE my country or else I would be. Also, I do serve my country by going to my job everyday (nurse), paying my taxes for all of you *** who (choose) not to work and volunteering when I have the opportunity at a juvenile diabetes camp. Yes I'm irritated, yes I'm mad about this topic because it's a big issue for America, and *** you if you feel the need to (play devil's advocate.)

Inb4 You mad bro?

Because it's obvious that I am

I don't really think I'd be able to ask much more since you threw the whole security clearance deal out. :/

Chill on the rage-ahol son

@ Vinvv last post

Yeah, try explaining what you do to your gf while keeping it legal. lol. Its not easy.

I am not your "son" (bro)
and do I really need to go through things you have posted to prove that you rage too? ... please shut up you twit.

YOU ARE A WEED CONTRACTOR FOR THE GOVERNMENT!
I KNEW IT!

Yo son, when did I claim not to rage? When you see me rage, feel free to come and tell me to chill on the rage-ahol. In the mean time, chill on the rage-ahol

You obey the law >.> That's not really serving your country, that's obeying the law. Do you want a medal for it?

Doing volunteer work and helping fellow man within your country is still considered to be "serving your country".
being a nurse is applicable to that.

Not mad. But you seem to obviously be. please dont get too made. But im sorry to hear of your disabilities and Im sorry that you cannot get into the service. I do truely apologize. But dont give ***to someone who served, and used what is available to them because you think he is leeching. If anyone deserves the uneployement its the war fighters when coming back and cannot get a job. And they may have not let you in the military cause you use the word *** alot in your paragraphs.

In after you mad bro.

Unless the life you save goes on a mass murder spree sometime in the future!

unless you're in the navy and don't go near any of that :P

hehe. Who told you!!!!

I guess I don't consider diabetes camp as public service.

We should start letting people die more so there are less chances of mass-murderers!

qft

What is this garbage? If you're not in the military you're not serving your country?

that's how some make it seem pretty much.

Personally, I'd see nursing as serving your community. When I think of serving the country, I envision something involved on a larger scale, above and beyond state or local level service.

Certainly do agree, though, that one can serve the community, state, or country in other than a military capacity. Medical, police, fire, even the (shudder) bureaucrat!

Is the community not part of the country?
I can get what you are saying to a certain extent....and I'd agree that a federal service would be considered to be "serving your country" a bit more than let's say working in a small hospital.
But I don't really think it makes one better than the other in contribution :/

Part, yes, as in subset. Picky semantics on both our parts!.

But would you describe someone in the military or National Security Agency as serving their community or their country? I'd call a dog catcher (Animal Control Officer) a local public servant, not a national one.

And I didn't say or mean to imply that one is "Better." Just a different level. Probably more personally interactive to serve one's community than one's nation.

The military are only cast as serving their country because the entirety of their collective efforts are broad though? You do a service to your country by being a teacher, educating people. You're only educating one classroom in one city in one state, but there are teachers all over the country doing it too.

To imply the military are special because they go out and fight is moot too. Most Americans are willing to die to protect the quality of life we have now. They're just not fit to go out and fight wars, or they don't feel the middle east was really a national security interest.

There are a lot of ways to serve your country, you don't need a gun to do it ._. This topic is insulting to those who, for example, became a teacher for the greater (collective) benefit of our nation.

oh...I didn't mean that you were implying it...more that previous posters were.

Agreed. Those at the NSA don't use a gun to serve their country. They generally use computers!

I just see things as scale. Your teacher serves the local community, indirectly benefiting the nation as a whole. Your Highway Patrol serves the state, indirectly benefiting the nation as a whole.
