You're comparing highly trained military guys in a coveted role (working with the Blue Angels), to a guy making $8.00 an hour in DTW or some other major metropolitan area?

Not even close. If you couldn't tell the difference in that during a walk around in any city, you're crazy.

In an increasingly lazy society, a job is just a means to an end. "Do just enough to not get fired and keep collecting a paycheck" seems to be the motto these days. I see it more and more with regional pilots, which is alarming.
