Because they joined the ARMY!
Young men are coming back from fighting in Afghanistan (if they come back at all - no choice. they must do as ordered by our political rulers) with arms and legs blown off, yet get less compensation.
If you can't see the injustice in this, you are part of the problem! |

I was looking for more insight into the subject not questioning your opinion. I am not familiar with this news story. That's all. |

Here's one of the scams they all work, in the year before they retire they work massive overtime, the captain or whomever makes the schedule goes along with this.
Then when they are set to retire they go on permanent disability instead because it pays better and their disability is based on how much they made the previous year when they were working all that massive overtime. |

Yet another scam is to trade their shifts around with other firemen so they "work" several weeks straight then take several weeks off. They get overtime for this because they "work" so many more hours in a week.
Bear in mind that they get paid for the entire time they are there, sleeping, watching TV whatever and during a shift of 24 or 72 hours for instance they are not going on calls that whole time they are only on duty for part of the time.
During the several weeks off they will go back to their home which is often hundreds of miles away in another state even. During the 89' Loma Prieta earthquake there were many firemen that couldn't come to help in time because they were living up in Oregon or Tahoe. |

That sounds like pure, unadulterated, hypocritical Fick-shun.

Yet another obvious screw-up by Obama.

I don't believe he was claiming it was Obama's fault. Fact check confirms Obama was not president in '89. |

Sounds to me like BB has a big problem with unions. |

Gosh, does that mean he can't be blamed?

Well technically Obama was alive in 89' so in all fairness he should shoulder some of the blame... |
