[QUOTE="Uncle Rico, post: 123359, member: 4974"] Hoser, I would not dare in any way disrespect the courage and valor our armed forces possess while fighting for our freedoms, especially in wars that are not fully backed by the American people, example, Iraq. The word "courage" however can be used in sentences that do not involve American troops. Yes, I believe UPS drivers, as the are called, on certain routes, in certain violent, volatile neighborhoods can be called courageous because they face the kind of crap day in and day out that a management candidate will not face while getting their driving experience over the course of 6 months. And for a management candidate who thinks that because they were drivers for 3-6-9 months or helped at peak can have the guts to say "I drove for a while, I know what goes on". If they have the guts to say that out loud, more power to them. They don't know jack squat about driving when it was only a temporary thing until they finally got their promotion and became one of management. For the record, I have the utmost respect for anyone past or present in the military and for any UPS driver who has to put up with management's quasi military way of motivating employees. The noob driver who gets stuck on a :censored: route in a bad neighborhood who comes in everyday to do their job knowing in the back of their mind that physical harm could come upon them just because they are in said neighborhood in my opinion is courageous. It has nothing to do with the military. A baseball player making 10 million a year who plays in a game with a sore arm and is doing it for the team IS NOT courageous, but the announcers will have you believe that for the sake of drama. Courage is facing that which what we fear and overcoming those fears whether it is a 5 year old kid going to kindergarten for the first time, a driver delivering to a known crack house, or an army grunt driving a hummer down Main St in Bagdahd. Courage is not limited to military...got it?? [/QUOTE]
