How about these FAA-style jobs with pensions that America can't support? If you're old enough then it's easy to just leave these problems for others to face the consequences of later.
I'm sure this will just get the "peanut gallery" rolling!
So you would have had no problem being in the military and having a paycheck and training paid for by the taxpayers had you not been weeded out, but when someone else did the same thing they are responsible for our national debt? I don't know if you need to stay in school longer to fix stupid, or if it's your professors that have filled your mind full of mush in the first place.
