As a citizen of America, I have all the rights I need - that the chimp Caesar hasn't yet destroyed. As for your judgments on American compensation, read this:

It would seem even with the median income in a civilian job in DC, you could make very close to 70k. So, why go to Iraq for chump change like that when you could make the same or better as a civilian? As for your griping about the DC cost of living, there's an entire America that isn't DC - get out a little more. It's a beautiful country. Check the housing cost in this Illinois town:
