And I’m not trying to pull quick jabs for what you do, but, I’m imagining that it must be mind numbingly and morally nauseating to deal with a government so neck deep in corruption.

So here’s my time for this story:
When I was at a recruiting office for the Coast Guard, the recruiter asked why I specifically chose the Coast Guard over any other branches. I said I’m the type of person that if I volunteered for the military and then got sent to a situation where some 12-year-old with a gun was going to kill me if I didn’t kill him, I would not be able to absolve myself of the responsibility of having to kill a kid, even to defend myself, because even if I didn’t choose to be in that kid’s country, I relinquished my choice to the military, so I am still responsible. There’s nothing morally ambiguous about saving somebody who is drowning.
He said that was a dumb reason. I didn’t care.
Well, as it turns out, he was right, but not for the reason he thought at the time.
Make the Coast Guard Department of Transportation Again!
