To be clear

I live in a mid-sized city in Western Canada. It's Canada, so not much in the way of terrorist activity happens here (other than the acts performed by our provincial government - wah, wah).

Anyway, there is a security guard that sits in the lobby of my office building who always wears FDNY and other similar ball caps. This drives me crazy because I find it hard to believe that this guy whose most important job is to make sure everyone signs in before proceeding up to their office after hours, is a brother in arms with the NY firefighters who rushed into the exploding Twin Towers to save people.

That's like saying because I have taken a first aid course I can now call myself a doctor and perform rectal exams.

It is just wrong.
