I usually question wars that the United States has been involved in.
The past two months I have been working at the Rock Island Arsenal as an office assistant in their Programs department, where I help maintain a filing system of all equipment, supply, and weaponry orders.
$$ It pays well $$ for a temporary, full-time job.
I knew what was all involved at the Rock Island Arsenal when I applied -- who wouldn't know with a name like that for the place? I have seen the artillery weapons they have on display outside in a green park area on the island and one or two near a couple of buildings -- I walk under a turret of one of the howitzers when I go into the building I work in.
So I guess you can call me a hypocrite.
Or maybe since I'm just a lowly office assistant, how much can you say I'm involved with the production, distribution and selling of weapons of war. Some of these were used in the war in Iraq this year.
If I'm a hypocrite, I can take comfort in the fact that at least this job is temporary, and I will be more financially secured when I take off for graduate school.
