Whenever I meet members of the U.S. military, I am invariably impressed by their dedication, loyalty, penchant for hard work, discipline, and pragmatic idealism. Military people tend to be good, decent folk. So I cannot help but ask myself, why are these people government employees? They have all the necessary qualities for stunning success in any endeavor they should undertake. Government employment for such individuals is under-employment.
Rather than waste this pool of extraordinary talent, these fine individuals should be turned loose in the private sector where they can produce something constructive for the nation and financially reward themselves. Imagine the boost they could give to our faltering economy in private sector employment! And think about the huge bonus the U.S. Treasury would receive if it could re-direct the monies that are currently being spent (at least 30% of the 2009 fiscal year budget according to WRL--see www.warresisters.org) to under-employ this accomplished segment of the population.
People enlist in the military to serve their country; well, their country needs them now to revitalize its economy. Friends in the military! Attention! Can we count on you to do your duty and leave government employment? Your country calls you!
