    In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. ~Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935

    I think I've stated numerous times that I didn't agree with the Iraq war. But soldiers don't make the decisions on whether to go to war or not. Civilians do.

    As I've said before, I'm rather isolationist myself.
    What him and others are doing is akin to arguing that, because the government does ed up things, all government workers are ed up people.

    Regardless which company anyone works for, if it's big enough, there will be ed up things that company does. It doesn't mean the employees agree with it.

    The military isn't something you give a 2 weeks notice on and quit. You can, but they will come take you back to work and you will be once again standing at attention in chow hall.

    All citizens vote in representatives. Those representatives determine if we go to war or not. Can generals utilaterally decide to go to war against Congress?
    can citizens unilaterally decide to go to war against Congress? I know I sure didn't vote

    You will end up in a CCF and you will be standing at attention in chow hall.

    I've seen it a few times, mostly those who just decide to not come in to work. Those who go on extended leaves and have to be tracked down, that's a different story.

    Chase Bank doesn't.

    FWIW, they are now one step closer to achieving their goal after today.

    They hired...

    And no, I'm not talking about DeJuan Blair.

    Thanks! I'll be a Project Manager, which correlates pretty well with what I did in the Air Force...only these system improvements won't be weapon system improvements!

    Honestly I didn't go through their military recruiting group to apply, but I do think it's awesome there's a formalized effort to get that type of leadership and experience unique to the military into private industry.

    I saw a group of our troops leaving a home on Thanksgiving evening and gave them a thumbs-up.

    DoK is mad because a veteran is going to get an associates degree and become his boss right off the back.
