Hope you know you are going to be getting paid 27k/year being deployed. The point is, it’s your duty as an American citizen to participate, regardless of pay. If you don’t like it, you should just move to Canada or something. There are plenty of people trying to get into the country that will make the sacrifice of loosing a week’s worth of pay to be in this country. > > Sorry, in my book, an illegal immigrant is more American than you. atleast an illegal has the excuse of not legally being able to participate in jury duty, as opposed to you who “just doesn’t like the pay” Not looking for basic training sympathy douche. I want to go.I’ll be damn glad to serve in the armed service my MOS pretty much say your going to iraq or a combat zone. I’m not going to fish for thanks that’s bullshit I will do my job help people and that’s it. I would think someone who is willing to put there life on the line and serve X amount of miles away thier families would understand that to be more “american” than serving jury duty. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/jury-duty/194937)._
