General Discussion Unpopular Opinions In the Fire Service

I am curious what other peoples unpopular opinions of the fire service are? I know there are alot of things we are doing or trying to do to improve the fire service as far as training and wellness, but I also know alot of it is just not that great in my opinion.

We talk about integrity and honor so much. Maybe we should spend more effort actually behaving that way instead of just talking about it.

Don't get me wrong, there's good people in the fire service. But there's plenty who will stab you in the back to make themselves look good instead of just being better themselves
