7. No it's not disrespectful

How much are they getting paid?

And - of course I'm sure you would be okay with them working in a daycare, bank, or Fed Gov when they are released. Right?

I would. I work for a company that supplies valves for patriot missiles. These folks should no longer be barred from working in Accounting. They should also be eligible for a Customs Broker's License.

Watch - in a few years we'll hear how none of these folks have been able to obtain gainful employment with a twist of "health issues" from fighting these fires.

America will never stop America'ing.
