Hell just froze over.

Yes, the day that many thought would never happen is upon us. Today, SunsetBengal actually agrees with an idea proposed by a Liberal Politician.

Quote:Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) said veterans ought to be able to move into civilian jobs similar to those they performed while in uniform without additional training and without the expense of extensive paperwork. - See more at: http://www.truckersnews.com/sen-warren-veterans-ought-to-get-driving-jobs-more-easily/#sthash.DnQCMsGa.dpuf

Quote:Warren said she does not want to change or lower civilian certification standards, but, “It seems to me America spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year to train our service members to do these highly skilled jobs. We train them to do these jobs with precision, to do them without mistakes, to do them in active combat situations and I believe they should be able to move into civilian life with those certifications. What concerns me right now is that too many service members are being roped into expensive credentialing programs by predatory for-profit colleges that are looking to get ahold of those military benefits and make a profit off them.” - See more at: http://www.truckersnews.com/sen-warren-veterans-ought-to-get-driving-jobs-more-easily/#sthash.DnQCMsGa.dpuf

Save the jokes and insults, as posting this required a bit of humble on my part. All smacks aside, she makes perfect sense. We have way too many US Veterans that are struggling to mesh into civilian life, we owe it to them to use their training and expertise to do the jobs that they were trained to do, free of jumping through lower hoops.
