Just don't think the term volunteer is that interchangeable when it suits people. I went too far trying to prove a point there with the taxes thing. Union volunteers also pay dues. I shouldn't let an angry deadzoner AF guy get my goat.
So now I'm an angry deadzoner who collected your tax money as pay while on active duty, huh? I have seen the abuse by people on FPL and don't agree with it, sorry.
