Well, Mr Flanders, when was the last time you risked your life by simply going to work? Or perhaps when your house catches fire you would put it out yourself, rather than rely on a bunch of 'lazy fat gits'?
The ironic thing I fine is the squaddies that are doing the job in there place aren't on the money the fire-fighters now never mine after a 40% pay rise! And think of all the places they can end up Bosnia, Kosovo, War in Iraq?
