"But don't try to tell me they're any better. I don't have to take that."
Didn't say that, said they were devoted professionals. So are fireman. So are some musicians like my son is: almost fanatically devoted to the standards of this craft. Painters. Doctors. Nurses.That is the point, not that they are better in some ethical sense. Its just that given the fact that you might die doing your job, it tends to seem to attract people who are very devoted, as it were: at least in my experience, I met some of the best and the worst people in the military, and it was like there was no middle ground. The lukewarm, so to speak, would just be spit out.
