| With no disrespect to my dad ... but I doubt if all heck had broken loose, he would have been in the combat loop as a stateside paralegal in the Air Force.
Not to be argumentative ... but regardless of how many servicemen and servicewomen are sent on active combat missions, there are plenty of jobs of an administrative-type nature that will still have to be filled at bases and posts in the US, not to mention the Pentagon.
If we consider the suggestions that a diabetic can serve by being a civilian police officer -- what's the difference between that and being an MP at a stateside Army post or a Security Policeman/woman at a stateside Air Force base?
