I think those mercenaries are damn fools. The mantra for the future in US is "Get rich, or get out". Middle-class and poor folks will get shafted. Most, if not all, of those mercenaries, if they do get US citizenship, will be squarely in the middle-class/poor category with no hope ever of getting rich. It is only those who have the connections to avoid military service, like Dumbya, Quayle, Limbaugh et al, that will get rich in the US. Not regular folks who risk their life and limb in wars.

The people you write about are a small part of our military. And they aren't merceneries, they are applicants for citizenship.

your beef about non-Iraqis fighting for the anti-US Iraqis.

My beef is that they are fighting to prevent the establishment of a democratic gov't and for the creation of a new haven for terrorists.
