Listen:
Having been a contractor over there, you get paid VERY well (it’s called hazardous duty pay) and you go over there full well knowing the risks.
No one is forcing these guys to go.
The money is a huge draw.
So these folks should either quit complaining, or stay at home. either way, they should STFU.
Just curious -- could you put this into some perspective? Don't divulge anything personal, but just wondering if you could give some details or examples.
So how does one find out about contractor opportunities over there? My lack of funds is about balanced with my desire to keep my head at this point.
All of our military are volunteers. Do you suggest that they do the same thing? I don't view this as complaining, just stating the facts. Just because they are being paid a lot of money doesn't mean that they have lost the right of free speech.
I don’t see Allegra complaining. They DO go for pay and no one forces them to go. That said, I still hate seeing them shot at for doing their jobs.
Yeah, OK...I'm listening...

REALLY?? I didn't know that. WOW!
Posted the article for general discussion. I've never, ever complained about any of it. I have griped at the whiners over here on occasion, though.
I've even heard people whine about how something isn't cooked quite to their satisfaction at the chow hall, for cryin' out freakin' loud.
