FDNY FLT. Ray McCormacks FDIC Speech

What a speech ! The only negative thing I can say is I was not there to hear it in person. If you read some other blogs concerning the fire service I can't believe how many people are attacking him. As far as I'm concerned these are the chimney savers that are trying to turn our profession into a "safety haven".
Imagine if some of the "Jakes" on our job get there way. Every confirmed fire would automatically require multiples, no entry until the board is set up, where's your safety vest, etc.
Even members with significant time on the job have lost their balls. It seems as if some people are trying to hide their cowardice behind the safety banner.
Question/comment/venting- In the time that we have worn the Bunker Gear Ensemble (got to be PC here) I have asked numerous members this same question, Can anyone please explain to me the reason or lack thereof of why does the pump operator have to wear his pants ? That has got to be the stupidest, insane, moronic thing we are supposed to do !!! Not one person (including the member whose idea it was) can give a rational explanation for this policy.
