    Top 10 most dangerous jobs in the U.S. according to Forbes:

    1. Logging Workers
    2. Fishing and Hunting Workers
    3. Roofers
    4. Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers
    5. Structural Iron and Steel Workers
    6. Delivery and Truck Drivers
    7. Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors
    8. Underground Mining Machine Operators
    9. Construction Trade Workers
    10. Electrical Power-line Installers and Repairers

    I’m know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it’s good info to be familiar with when some knuckle dragging MAGA hat pretends to be patriotic.

    Notice that law enforcement overseers and military are not on this list. Moreover, LEOs often get paid MUCH better than many of the people employed at some of the jobs listed above. It’s also a pretty safe bet these days that if an American police officer is in a dangerous situation, they are the danger. I’m all for respecting people that choose dangerous careers, but police and veterans are not heros for making that choice any more than any of the others on this list.

    OSHA has a similar list, no police either.

    USA Today has a top 25 list, still no police.
