Maybe the judge doesn’t like this tacky display, made of old fire hoses, because it conflates firefighting with military service.

Firefighting is a civil service job. It has nothing to do with preserving the freedom of the United States. We owe that and the flag that represents it to a very select group — soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines. Firemen are none of the above.

Firemen (and cops) pushing, pushing, pushing Americans into affording them the same automatic respect that soldiers earn is downright offensive, from their fake military funerals to tacky displays like this.

Just take your 100k pensions and lie low. You’re not soldiers.

They probably are. LEOs and Firefighters are heroes doing dangerous duty on the homefront. Many are in fact veterans.

Kinda harsh aincha?
