I've seen a big change in public attitude towards service members ..... -- BusLoadaBozos 01/04/2019 09:01AM

No question things are far different now. Think about it. -- 48zip 01/04/2019 10:46AM

Yeah, I expect the Vietnam hangover is part of it. -- Tafkam Hokie 01/04/2019 7:06PM

Yeah, that's a strange thing for me to fathom, soldiers getting treated -- BG Hokie 01/04/2019 11:01AM

It's the same as the way police are treated today -- Vienna_Hokie 01/04/2019 1:37PM

Same here sounds awful. and some people call today the most divisive and -- HokieSignGuy 01/04/2019 12:07PM

It wasn't pretty. ** -- 48zip 01/04/2019 11:22AM

So many fields deserve this, teachers, scientists, etc. -- WestyHokie 01/03/2019 11:27PM

None of those jobs require you to go where you are told and be shot at -- Vienna_Hokie 01/04/2019 1:33PM

Not really. Perhaps if you said police, first responders, etc -- vt90 01/04/2019 11:47AM

What about linemen? (not the football kind) -- VTSnake 01/04/2019 12:06PM

I imagine they're getting some pretty good bank for those... -- `lag 01/04/2019 12:18PM

I went to the ECU game that wasn't this September to enjoy a quiet weekend -- vt90 01/04/2019 12:39PM

Those outages impact all the utilities. It's in their interest to stay up -- 48zip 01/04/2019 1:12PM

Sure ... -- vt90 01/04/2019 12:11PM

Why do any fields deserve this? We choose our vocations. ** -- BG Hokie 01/04/2019 10:54AM

Horrible take (awful viewpoint) ** -- Tommy Bowden 01/04/2019 10:32AM

Teachers? -- MrBayAreaHokie 01/04/2019 09:40AM

BA HA HA HA HA HA HA (HS Teacher here) -- hokieinashburn 01/04/2019 11:43AM

Wow. Literally every single point you make is flat rong -- JoesterVT 01/04/2019 10:58AM

My wife is a teacher and while you use hyperbole it's -- BG Hokie 01/04/2019 10:51AM

Your wife must teach elementary school, because gifts are rare in HS -- hokieinashburn 01/04/2019 11:45AM

Clearly you aren't molesting enough high school boys like all the reports -- vt90 01/04/2019 11:50AM

I truly cannot fathom that! -- hokieinashburn 01/04/2019 1:01PM

Wow. A bit close to home! :) -- vt90 01/04/2019 1:03PM

Back at all. -- hokieinashburn 01/04/2019 1:07PM

Lol..."not underpaid" -- JoesterVT 01/04/2019 10:57AM

I'm not sure that "proves" your point like you think it does. ** -- vthokieq 01/04/2019 4:04PM

Well...same education, same workload, less pay -- JoesterVT 01/04/2019 4:10PM

How bad is the teacher shortage in the country? What other job do you -- BG Hokie 01/04/2019 10:59AM

And by the way, you sort of make my point -- JoesterVT 01/04/2019 11:13AM

Here's a good read -- JoesterVT 01/04/2019 11:05AM

NEWS FLASH! Teachers do WAY more than teach! -- hokieinashburn 01/04/2019 11:54AM

Ot arguing, but many jobs/professions have the same issues. -- 48zip 01/04/2019 12:14PM

Oh, I had that in my past world, too - but not nearly the same extent. -- hokieinashburn 01/04/2019 12:58PM

Horrible take (sheer ignorance) ** -- Tommy Bowden 01/04/2019 10:33AM

When you definitely know a teacher** -- typed by ben 01/04/2019 10:14AM

I don't know ANY teachers that leave at 3pm. -- HokieSignGuy 01/04/2019 09:52AM

You are prob not on the west coast -- MrBayAreaHokie 01/04/2019 10:04AM

I didn't know the left coasters were culturally early risers. ** -- BG Hokie 01/04/2019 10:53AM

Why scientists? They get awards and adulation if they do something -- `lag 01/04/2019 08:51AM

They also get paid a crap-load of money for doing their job. -- EDGEMAN 01/04/2019 09:37AM

Exactly, won't have an opportunity to buy a scientist a burger -- `lag 01/04/2019 10:27AM

A fetish? Definition inside. I hope you made an honest mistake. -- 48zip 01/04/2019 08:17AM

There's another definition not included there -- Nova Hokie 95 01/04/2019 09:58AM

Some of it is straight pandering and feels gross, I agree. -- HokieinTampa 01/04/2019 04:56AM

Word. ** -- thankbud 01/03/2019 11:15PM

Got an ovation once on a flight coming back from Saudi. If they only knew -- HokieinTampa 01/03/2019 10:11PM

I was Dec 88 ... Do you remember what Unit you were in? -- Vienna_Hokie 01/04/2019 09:25AM

Can't forget it - we chanted it every day -- HokieMacDaddy 01/04/2019 10:29AM

I was thinking about some major changes since I went through -- Vienna_Hokie 01/04/2019 12:16PM

Thank you Sir ** -- astrohokie 01/03/2019 9:09PM

This experience makes my day. Nice work Vienna, you earned it. ** -- HokiesBill48 01/03/2019 9:06PM
