Good for her.
I wouldn't take a shit for his nasty ass, let alone a bullet.
The first "guy" off the "boat" takes 'em for those behind him, and that's why you aren't an agent or working in personal protection.No doubt any type of security job has it's risks and agents are risking their lives to some extent just being in proximity to a client. My statement was based on common sense. It's obvious the agent's statement was made out of dissent for Trump.
It's not being disrespectful to you at all. Unless one has the mindset in which the risks are acceptable, then one ought not to venture into those situations in which that result can be an option. I doubt seriously when they wake up in the morning they dwell on the subject, but it's a reality and my guess is they all look forward to coming "home" (wherever that may be "today") with a clean suit without any holes in it. But in the scheme of things the POTUS is more important than the agent. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Your choice to decide what your own personal priorities are.Did you really understand my post? I don't think you did.
However, with your gratuitous "You would have to be an idiot to do that" part you have just insulted a whole lot of military folks. Neither the SS nor the military want to get in that spot, and their real job in both cases is to prevent that necessity from happening, but if it does, that's what they signed up for. Ditto for many LE, firefighters (not a bullet, but flames are just as bad if you are running into the building to rescue someone).
So do you really believe what you said, that essentially every medal of honor winner is an idiot?
Having said that, yes, she should not have said what she did and should be removed. But as has been stated, depending how the job description is written, that may be easier said than done. If it is well written, it is indeed possible.

Paraphrase: You wouldn't take a bullet for anyone, and you would be an idiot for doing so ....
... am I even close?
And I'm not ragging on you about it ... that's your attitude. FYI: I personally have never "expected" anyone else to "take a bullet for me" in any situation ... and as a "practical matter" most people don't really know how they would react in that split second in which one must make that decision....furthermore, there is about a 99% chance the Agent would have some level of body armor on in the confrontation....so depending upon the weapon being fired it would hurt like a MF and probably knock them down and knock their breath out statistically they would probably survive....although unpleasant.

The Hatch prohibits most federal employees from enagging in political activities to include publicly endorsing a candidate. In 2012, Obama signed an ammendment to the act to allow for the removal of the employee for violation of the act.
