"Is Hard Labor Fair" ...are you serious?
In this week’s Air Force Times, there is a 3 page story concerning "hard labor" and whether or not it is fair. Are you kidding me? Hard labor is not supposed to be fair! Life is not fair!
Pvt Suarez complains about hard labor after popping positive on a urinalysis. He should have been grateful he was not kicked out. I bet he is less likely to use drugs again… Petty Officer Pablo Paredes is mentioned, pictured, and quoted in the article complains about hard labor after “he refused to deploy to the Persian Gulf in 2004, saying he disagreed with the war in Iraq and war in general.” If you disagree with war then why did you joined the Armed Services? Then he has the audacity to complain about hard labor. “…There was no water or restroom.” Well, if he deployed and did what he took an oath to do he would have had access to well cleaned port-a-potties and bottled water, even a camel back if he was lucky. Join this military, asked to do what you joined for, refuse, and then complain about punishment? You have got to be kidding me. Just another example of someone trying to mooch off the US Government and get something for nothing… I cannot believe this is even a featured article in the Times.

Re: "Is Hard Labor Fair" ...are you serious?
I'll let my opinion be known by paraphrasing Dennis Miller: "It's not a damned country club, it's PRISON. You want a weight room? It's called your cell; get in there and wait."
What's next? Complaints that the foam on the capuccino in the prison dining room isn't frothy enough, and there's no mint on the pillow at night? The easiest way to avoid having to do hard labor in prison is to refrain from engaging in activities that result in going to prison. It's not that hard to do; most people do just that every day. As for the P.O. that refused to deploy because he didn't believe in war - I have great sympathy for all currently serving draftees who are conscientious objectors.
