The mercenaries aka security personnel, contractors were actually in the fighting today, running the helicopters, etc. They can make $250K, more in a month than they've been making in a year in some cases.

What's to stop regular army troops from becoming for-hire security personnel and billing the US gov't (us)? Would that happen?

Shrub's privitization of the military. Not under military control, not accountable to the US taxpayer but ultimately paid by us. Yet another Shrubbery radical, frightening activity for profit.

US taxpayer ==> US treasury ==> Iraq Laundry ===> Shrubbery cronies
