I'm with mateo its a war zone! A greedy guy going to Iraq to work for $100,000 tax free. Filling a job an Iraqi can do is hardly a hero. I feel bad for his family they lost a great son. Why do we pay a truck driver 100 grand when there are 1000s of Iraqis that would love to do the job for 10,000. Iraqis are not any different than us in the regard that they just want to work earn money and prosper. Instead we bring in a bunch of yankees to do the work that they've done for years. Give a guy a future and he'll protect it. Let him idle and he'll figure out how to upset the status quo. What would you do if you were Iraqi, hide in your house for years? Its human nature to be productive.
