Well said H Duece. I believe Paragon understands the reasons someone chooses a life in service to his country.
I am also a realist, I've spent twenty years of my life wearing uniforms. First for the Marines, and now as a cop.
Respect is an interesting subject, people say they respect the armed forces, but try getting decent service in a restaurant around Oceanside CA while wearing a high and tight haircut. This might be cause young Marines are not good tippers, but it can be hard to come by.
Respect is easily offered to police by a large percentage of the population, this percentage is
usually not the ones going to jail though.
It is an over- simplified generalization but, some people just never drew a decent mother and father when the original deck was dealt. That's my basic opinion of the respect question.
