Now you're making things up again so your credibility goes down that slippery slope. I said I don't expect to work for free, I asked YOU if you were.

I don't expect anyone else to do anything as everyone is a free agent. I do believe that if you're rabidly for this war and expect others to fight it then you should be willing to fight it yourself, have a good explanation for why you won't or be considered a hypocrite.

Everyone can do exactly as they please but they can't dictate the outcome of their actions.

Yet again, you're twisting my words and than adding entirely new words to what I said. I said I expect YOU to be paid as our military is paid and not 10 times as much for the same job.

I have heard the wage of a KBR truck driver is $150K/year. I suspect that even that wage isn't worth dying over for many. Many people work very hard hours and make much, much, much, much less. If they don't like the risk/reward and the bad PR, they shouldn't work for Halliburton.

No matter how you look at it, this is an illegal war based on a pack of lies prosecuted incompetently for profit. Corruption? Invasion Iraq is the most corrupt enterprise in the history of the world.
