Everyone talking about the Army, Nayv, military......, go ahead and replace those words with "our government ". Same Federal government, same executive branch has both the armed services and the EPA. Also the FDA and OSHA and a hundred "lesser" departments and programs who use taxpayer money to "protect " citizens

OSHA isn't poisoning the groundwater. Stop distracting from the issue.

And yet OSHA cares exactly as much about you as the department poisoning the groundwater.

You're mostly just coming across as not understanding what OSHA does, bud.

It's not about OSHA's or any other agency's mission, bud. It's about the level of concern the agency has, as a whole, for the citizens of the US. Maybe that wasn't as obvious as I believed it to be. Bureaucrats across the board go about their days with preserving their jobs and doing as little as possible just like in the private sector.

Your hot take sounds a little like projection.

In fact there are a lot of people who do their jobs because it's what they want to do (the paycheck allows them to do it). In OSHA, EPA, and other agencies that protect people from abuses I'm willing to bet there are a lot more of those people than in the army.

I suppose you believe we'd be better off without the EPA, and just allowed corporations and anyone else to just poison even more of our natural world.

It isn't all the same thing. The US pre-EPA was a hellscape.

I don't even believe we'd be better off without the Army but that doesn't mean they don't need strong oversight and to be held accountable for their failures. Just like every other department in our government
