He just made a little over $150k a year for serving his country. And he received a hell of a retirement.. Chris.. you're fighting a losing battle.. I was paid like a GS-12, that's about $70K a year... But instead of working 40 hours per week, I worked 15 hours per day, 7 days per week. So with regard to all of this "wealth", you can do it too.. Just work two good paying jobs each and every day for a year.. And the fact is that most contractors are in the same situation, with most working 12 hours per day, 6-7 days per week.. Certainly the KBR employees work every day. And then throw in mortars and rockets, small arms fire, or just plain accidents from vehicle and aircraft crashes, or heat stroke.... Try it sometime and tell us "plush" you think is... Go on now.. there are still plenty of jobs available over there... Give it a shot you gutless jellyfish!! Hawk
