To compare yourself with a US soldier is what sickens me, and probably THEM, as well.

I was a soldier, for 14 years. In fact, it was the skills that I learned in the service which provided me the employment opportunity. And most of the contractors I worked with were former military.

So that begs the question.. Did you ever serve? Or are you just a worthless slug who hates the military and the people who serve in it because it reminds you of how spinelss you are?

Don't forget that EVERYONE who serves in Iraq is paid. Some are paid more, and some are paid less.

But the reason the US military NEEDS contractors is because people like you are completely unwilling to increase the size of the military so that soldiers can do the job that contractors are currently hired to perform.
