people make choices in life, he made a choice to be in a very risky profession in return for money?.imo, a man with a family should make his choices with certain factors that completely eliminate that profession from being a feasible option?.for instance, a relatively strong (compared to a mechanic for instance) likelihood that you will get hurt/killed?ie working in a live war zone)
never suggested he was motivated by greed? perhaps you didn't read this part:
<I> the guys who want the extra bucks, or need to feel they're heros leave their families -</I>

So tell me is there a lot of jobs paying $80K to ex-dairy farmers in your area, allowing people to make money fast to pay for their wife's surgery?
I think in the same situation you would do any job to do the same, he never asked for your fucking pity, nor your money, so why defame him?
