Their work isn't physical, it isn't dirty, it isn't dangerous.....they are not removed from the bosom of their family.....not like the soldiers who put their lives on the line for folk like you and me...in conflicts not of their choosing.
Not like the doctors and nurses who work tirelessly for the good of the health of the nation.....who deal with sickness and death every day of their lives.
And you are going to tell me that these people also choose their jobs. Yes, and you would be right, but who do you think has the sharp end of the stick?
It certainly isn't those bonus raddled bankers( this excludes those who deal with us at the counters of the banks - they are just minions and are not in the same category).
So forgive me if my sympathy for these men is a bit scant, in this life you reap what you sow!

Yes i would tell you the folk you mentioned choose their jobs,But (again) you have a good point
