You are right and the entitlements are a whole world different than the military. Can not compare the two.

In the military we look at it as defending the country but the Fed Employees, Agent, Intel, admin, etc do not look at it that way. Pay or No Play is their focus, it is just a job. I want to kill most of them. Hell I do not file for some of the overtime/Sunday Pay, Night Diff Pay, etc just because it is such a pain to do but most will not do one second of work without that extra compensation. The Government sets the rules not the employees and they just gain form some Civil Servant rules. Hell I would be tied up in Memos and forms for 80% of my time if I followed the rules like most do. They just think I am FK%$d in the Head.
Just my 2 cents from being on both sides of the fence.
