>>Some people still don't understand why military personnel
>>do what they do for a living. This exchange between
>>Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum
>>is worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive
>>impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one

>>"How can you run for Senate
>>when you've never held a real job?"
>>
>>Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):
>>"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps.
>>I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions.
>>My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different
>>occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my

>>not a nine-to-five job, where I took my tie off to take the
>>daily cash receipts to the bank."
>>
>>"I ask you to go with me .. as I went the other day...
>>to a veterans' hospital and look those men ..
>>with their mangled bodies in the eye, and tell THEM
>>they didn't hold a job!
>>
>>You go with me to the Space Program at NASA and go,
>>as I have gone, to the widows and orphans
