I tend to think more highly of policemen and firefighters then I do of the military. I was in the Army for five years (just got out this month) and I just don't see why we got more attention then the people protecting the streets of our country everyday.
My problem is that the military is getting so much attention because of all the needless deaths happening in a country we shouldn't even be in (please don't flame, just my opinion). Yes a lot of those people are heroes, but so are the men and women that clean up crime, stop drugs from corrupting people, put out fires, etc... These people do more good for our country then we see, but the focus of the media is always on the soldiers dying in Iraq/Afghanistan. Unfortunately not much will change until all the troops get home, where they can do their real job of protecting our country instead a country 8000 miles away.
