Hey, Does Anyone Else Think We Kinda Respect the Military Too Much Maybe?

[sarisataka]

35. Can you ever respect anyone too much?

Be it military, police, doctors, teachers or coal miners and fast food workers...
Respect does not mean unconditional support and ignoring any improper actions. Military members are people and some will make mistakes like everyone does. That does not represent the whole. when a teacher is convicted of having sex with a student do we assume every teacher is horrible and doing the same thing?

As for Ms Stone I find her picture to be foolish and in extremely poor taste, yet she has the right to act that way and even take the picture. Now posting it on the internet for literally the world to see makes her, or anyone's, foolish and distasteful action public. If you do something in public, you face possible repercussions. By posting photos you open things that are private to the public and, while it may have been fine to keep to your self or share with select friends, there may be consequences from your choice of publicizing your actions. As criminals have been caught by posting photos of their crimes, if you post a picture that causes your employer to question your judgement and ability to do your job-- well you had the choice to not put your photo online.

I do not have a facebook page. I know I am foolish enough without having to give the world photographic evidence.
