“Youre assuming my friend was stationed in Iraq.”
Actually, I said, “Arab” countries just in case she wasn’t. I’m surprised these guys are fighting as they must have seized weapons to do so. GD employees were mostly non-combatant types, but they’ll know how to man a tank. The fact they are fighting will increase their chances of being beheaded instead of ransomed. Christians who fight are frowned on. (Er...beheaded.) Isn’t it wonderful dealing with denizens of the 9th century?
You said: "GDs policy, based on Iraqs laws and the laws of every Arab country..."
I'm not going to pursue this further because I'm not at liberty to say where she was stationed, but she did carry a sidearm.
