No way on earth I do that job.

Sorry, my intention was not to paint SAR and those people who do it as touchy feely, I fully realize what they do and who they are. My point (poorly made) was that it's a touchy feely subject for the government. It involves rescuing people and saving lives and who doesn't like that and you can always portray that in a positive manner and make it an easy sell to the taxpayer. I've always had the feeling that our Liberal governments, and this one in particular is not comfortable with other things military forces do and which ours can do particularly well if necessary and that is use deadly force. That is the 'non touchy feely' stuff that they seem to do everything they can to avoid talking about or dealing with.
SAR = feel good becasuse it involves saving lives
Fighter jets, guns, combat etc. - makes our government uncomfortable it seems.
