Unlike a US soldier, you get to CHOOSE where you go and what you do.

Last time I checked, it was an all volunteer force.. And many soldiers have re-enlisted WHILE in Iraq...

And over HALF of these soldiers apparently believed that we should DOUBLE our presence in Iraq and wipe out the insurgency ourselves.

Doesn't that make them mercenaries as well, under your definition??

You sure have a lot of gall trying to speak with people who you've apparently never served with.
