Thanks for the comments on my job. 
2 weeks ago I was at the photoshooting for our fall/winter collection.
I'll post some new pictures once they are allowed to be shown in public.

I work for the Division of Motor Vehicles for the state of West Virginia... it does not pay for any of my "toys" lol. Basically I take any piece of paper that someone fills out, or has and scan it, so that way we can destroy the original. It would make much more sense just to start with it digital... but our OT is ********* stupid. I actually end up doing IT work most of the time because of this. Working in wiring closets, setting up PC's, etc... Of course they make about 3 times what I do, for doing the same work...
Video scanning something they printed, just so we could scan *facepalm* this is a few thousand of probably hundred of thousands of papers they printed.

I also free lance design website/admin. I own my own hosting company on the side that is a shared server *yuck* but I also have dedicated servers. I'm "partners" with the guy that hosts hackthissite.org
I also like most on here, fix other people's PCs. I just do it for whatever they can/want to pay. Not really in it for the money, I just like to help I suppose. It's easy...

I don't know. Probably to thank them for their service to America. Although I feel sorry for the soldiers who have to go fight a war the US has nothing to do with.
Probably because they perceive that America's credibility and economic survival depend on its global projection of military force, and disregard the concomitant chaos usually suffered by the innocent recipients of such military attentions.

Not wanting to turn this into a PRSI thread, but I can't agree more with your point of view.

They do it because soldiers work in fact for the country. People being citizens feel the need to thank them for several things. Even in peace time, they are not thanking that particular soldier for any specific action, but for the fact they he/she is there to go into action to protect the citizens from whatever, internal or external, wars or floods.
You might be able to relate if you think about how you feel towards a fire-fighter. You know they risk their lives so you are thankful to them, not for any specific fire, but for their job in general.
That's why people do it.
Whether you agree with it or not is another thing, damages and things that armies can cause or whatever, don't enter people's mind when they thank someone like that.

My take on this: is this an overwhelmingly American site and if people wish to show their support for THEIR troops that should be left up to them.
The rest of us are guests and should act accordingly.
So when the marine corps invade the Netherlands for their cheese resources, you still "act accordingly"?
Nah seriously, I don't understand it either, even though I've been in the army. It's just a job.
There's no harm in trying to examine or explain a curious cultural difference. There is certainly little of such automatic respect for our armed services.

Wootton Bassett is that not a form of supporting YOUR troops?
Wootton bassett is merely a place to go to pay your respects to troops killed abroad, its a repatriation service not a place for supporting troops generally. Im very anti war and not particularly pro military in the classical sense, but I've been to Wootton Bassett and its a town that has seen too much sorrow for no good reason.
Used to work on these MRH90 helos, but now I am working on the A330 - oh I am an engineer
I feel compelled to say, "Thank you for your servicing".
