MSNBC: In Aziziyah, southeast of Baghdad, U.S. Marines were digging up a suspected chemical weapons hiding place in the courtyard of an Iraqi school on Saturday. The Marines said that a man who described himself as a former member of the Iraqi special forces told them that groups of Iraqi men had knocked down a wall of the girls’ school two months ago, hidden something in the courtyard and then concreted it over again during the course of three nights. “We don’t have a clue now but we’re going to dig it up and see,” Marine Gen. James Mattis said at the scene.

Sorry, big, BIG non sequitur. They're not employees. I've been paid for work by several companies(actually, including ExxonMobil) without being an employee of those companies. My guess is that it was part of the government's deal with Exxon that they HAD to pay for those guys as security. I've known of similar arrangements in other countries. A friend of mine working in Indonesia says the military is almost just like a security business there. Because a few Indonesian military MAY have committed atrocities means that the US military will?! Sorry, but I think you're head is full of mush.
