I wonder what the percentage is for medical doctors, engineers, lawyers, CPA's and/or any other sectors of our society? I bet the percentage of any professional element and/or white collar employees is at least the percentage quoted if not significantly higher. It seems like a lot of people like to throw darts at their own Country's civil servants. You may not choose to believe me. We were, and I believe still are held to a higher standard
I have personally undergone numerous detailed background checks for security clearances. This is one area that would trip you up in a hurry. You and I know this. Lets also face the fact that the military are Federal employees. My experience has generally shown a majority of them are Republicans. I have only served in the Dept. of Defense, and I would be willing to bet a large percentage of them are Republicans. It is a very conservative and straight laced work force.
Here we go taking a 3 - 4% and throwing the baby out with the wash water. Are you kidding me? When has the entire Federal work force become so evil with such a low percentage of scumbags as a small representation?
When has it become that folks with the freedom of choosing a political party other than your personal choosing become such terrible people and/or second rate citizens? I can not even believe you would insinuate such based upon their polictical beliefs. If you do, you indeed are not what I consider a true American. Those who do are a very sad part of our society. This is not what my grandfathers, my father and I fought to preserve.
It reminds me of the way many in the American Society treated others and myself when returning from Nam and while serving on active duty in the 60's and 70's. I was blanketed with all the others who I served with as crap. Now as a retired civil servant, it seems an ignorant part of society still wants to think the same of my career group. I have served with some very brave and hard working Americans, and I resent it when I see them criticized by ignorant and judgemental inferiors.
It is hard to imagaine people still displaying such opinioned ignorance. How many times have they had to take a sworn oath to their Country and expected to honor their oath? Yes, unfortunately there is a minuscule number without honor whether they are Republicans, Democrats or of no party affiliation.
