And where are the national holidays for people like doctors, teachers, fireman, police and so on, you know, the non dregs of humanity that actually contribute to our quality of life?

I just commented in this thread about someone who was a firefighter and how I have a huge amount of respect for that.
So your saying I am the bottom of the barrel because I joined the Marines? You fucking prick. I was an honor roll student all through high school back in the day when that meant something. I went into the military because I was pretty much done with being a student, spent four years in the Marines, then seven years managing a fast food restaurant while climbing up the corporate ladder in the telecommunications industry at the same time, THEN went to college and graduated Valedictorian with two degrees, one in computer tech and one in electrical engineering.
I served four years. I don't consider myself a Vet. Your average fire fighter sees ten time more action in four years than I did in the Marines. I got a lot more out of my four years in the Marines than I put in, and came out a better person.
