From my perspective, 70k a year is one good paying job, no mortars, IED's or bullets required. Besides, I also think Iraq is a really stupid waste of American lives and resources, exactly as I felt about Vietnam. Leaving will cause us no harm at all, but will be a huge net positive for us, also like Vietnam. I can't see this continuing for even two more years - we're GOING to get out of there, even if Bush has to be removed to accomplish it. twf.org Why are you paid so little? Certainly a good man with experience could get more compensation than that in Iraq! Chump change like that seems hardly to make it worth the risk. I've heard of truck drivers that make more than that in Iraq. Is this some truthiness on your part?
