(1,089 posts)The military needs more than just grunts to do their thing. All them fancy weapons systems that help protect our troops and that taxpayers pay dearly for don't exactly grow on trees so they're always looking for guys who can do that for them. I figured I could help them develop their missiles and rockets and lasers but I'd much rather do it without somebody shooting bullets or lobbing mortars at me at the same time if at all possible...LOL.
Much safer being a civilian engineer than a combat one...and the pay's a little better too! No free food or clothing or housing though so they got that going for them, as Bill Murray would say. I almost ended up in northern Israel if we had deployed a weapons system we worked on that President Clinton started back in the 90s...they woulda had to buck up bigtime if I was gonna let Hezbollah fire Katyushas at me from Lebanon. But the program ended up getting mothballed and I avoided having to decide what to do.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
