this idea you have about "white collar welfare" and frankly, I rather resent you saying it. Because "welfare" means you are getting something for nothing - and in the 32 years I spent, I felt most years I gave a lot more than I got. I just think you are so out of touch, because you are judging an entire workforce on the basis of a few interfaces with clerks. I spent a lot of time in foreign countries negotiating foreign military sales - often to keep the production lines open so the Army could afford to upgrade aging equipment and new technology for our troops. I can assure you that Kuwait, Saudi and Pakistan were never on my bucket list of fun places to go. Or when I had an armed guard with me 24/7 and was issued a weapon in El Salvador in the years of their civil war. Or when I was locked down in my hotel room while I was in Colombia, lest I become a target of opportunity for some drug cartel. None of those places was on my bucket list. Or when I spent 4 months in Germany trying to find foreign customers for vehicles that the Army had no funds to repair or ship back to the U.S. I had a long and varied career - but I sure don't remember getting anything that I didn't earn.
