Sorry if I wasn't clear, that's what I intended to convey.

In the public sector we mostly consider employment solely based on its benefits because under US law there is only so much bad shit that your employer is allowed to cause you to endure.

Employment with the US Military or associated intelligence services MUST be considered with the stark fact in mind that a core tenant of your employment is signing over your life. Not to die nobly for just causes. Simply to give over your life for nearly any purpose deemed fit by your superiors.

What fool would take that bargain?

Did you remember to factor in the lure of free healthcare in America pre-ACA? ;)
