    This thread has got people all stirred up over military this and that. It doesn't have anything to do with it.

    Boss runs the company. It's not the OP's run, it's A run within the company, the Boss's company. Boss decides who gets em. If you don't like the boss's decisions for WHATEVER reason, leave. Go be the boss. Ain't no dedicated runs unless your name is on the truck.

    . . . . . TRUE THAT !, but the Military perceptions hold true also !, if not for the PEACE that the Military provides, more than likely the BOSS would not have a COMPANY !

    well obviously, he does not have those to account for.

    you cannot compare a decorated soldier to a civilian.

    you need to be "REAL" with your lopsided comparison.

    A lot of whiny from those that would literally pee themselves in face of what that soldier had to do in order to be awarded a Medal of Honor.
    I doubt most could do enough to get a Purple Heart..

    Well, Medal of Honor, DSC, Silver Star, Bronze Stars are all awards.
    Purple Heart, is a “badge of honor” showing wounded or killed.

    The more I think of it, I’d probably give the Medal of Honor winner the job, and go somewhere and get another job.
    Or if they had another run, I’d do it, as long as it wouldn’t make me run odd hours like as if you were trying to hide and work.
    I would do my job and nothing extra for that job, I wouldn’t intentionally try to do anything, but I’d probably let him have it.

    I was trying to figure out where this crap came from.

    I won’t salute anyone, sorry I’m the citizen who controls the military through my constitution.

    I know a few highly decorated members of the military I learned they deserve the thanks but not much more, they deserve me and all of you to hold the government to have promises fulfilled like the va being fixed and more.

    As for peace ... the military is the last line to peace with a redoubt of diplomacy being the first. I thank those who fought for fighting for our country but not for my rights, those thanks go to those whom fought to establish our country.

    I would not want to see our country in any type of war. Yes he received the Medal of Honor, and I applaud that. I respect military, just as I do anyone else but the last thing i want to see is more war, and bloody ones like the ones you mentioned. I'd like to see our military serve the country, and make it back in one piece. @longhairdontcare it sucks that you lost a run that you had. You still have a job though. Do everything your boss asks of you, as long as its reasonable. If you have to take another run, do it and do it well. I tell my kids, do everything great. Be so great at everything you do so that it nothing will get taken from you. A run ain't bo big deal, but if you're great and versatile at your company, you'll always have a spot there.
