Isn't there something fundamentally wrong with this picture?

Just got off the phone with my son, the 22 year old National Guardsman. He has just been informed that he is going to New York City for airport security guard duty. Is he trained for this? Hail no! Does he get paid well? Uh uh! Does he have a fancy uniform? You betcha! Can he tell the difference between a plastic boob and C4? I doubt it!

But, CK, I do take exception to Haven't met a smart one yet. But, then again, you haven't met my son, have you? By the way, he's 6 foot 7 inches tall. He is a biggun!

But did he ask for this assignment? No. He was given it. Will he do the job? To the best of his abilities. He would lay down his life for a job given him by his country. Am I proud of him? You better believe it.
