Reply #24: You got fired for sucking at your job ......

[Tangerine LaBamba]

That's a legitimate reason for getting fired.

This man is brilliant at his job, but he's being ditched because of his sexual orientation.

You enjoyed being on unemployment? Well, that is probably another huge difference between you and this officer. See, he loves his job.

So you were lousy at your job and you got fired.

You enjoyed being unemployed and collecting.

Now, you have "a half-decent job."

I think maybe you can't identify with the problems this Air Force officer is having because he loves his job, is being pushed out because of what he is, and he wants to contribute and do good work.

You two inhabit very different worlds, so I can understand why you can't relate to this injustice.

As for "hyperbole," well, I guess that's a perfectly subjective matter. But, I do hope you enjoy your half-decent job. At least you've got a job.......................
