My military service was an honor and a duty which I was proud to perform.

You get paid in the military at a rate well below industry standards...retirement "pay" is compenstation for those many
years of such pay and the years of moving around. I fulfilled my duty for 20 years, the US government is now meeting their end of the bargain (in most cases... free medical services come to mind...)

The servitude I am referring to is the unfair jury selection process: no lawyers, teachers etc are ever called. See the links above.

I've done my duty for my country...I dont want to be in the
service of the Feds in their courts as they take over more and more of what should properly be done by the states.

Most Federal procescutors apparently believe they can get the FGJs to "rubber stamp" their plans. I do not want to be a party to endure this type of pressure.

would you want a lawyer or a teacher sitting on a jury if you were in the dock????
