It takes solid people to staff these positions. It takes nothing at all to take easy and off-the-cuff potshots at them.

With all due respect, I consider "firefighter" to be a tougher job than "career politician." I also think "teacher" is a job more deserving of respect and admiration. That being said, it can't be easy to be in the spotlight all the time, and the jobs are difficult. However, I imagine the power and influence that comes along with the job might help to ease things, something which cannot be said for "police officer" or the other jobs I have listed.
