If he was working as a private contractor, shouldn’t his employer be responsible for medical care?....I’d bet (with good odds) most of the contractors are CIA or some such alphabet agency employees who have been granted time off from their military duties to do dirty work. Very much like the Flying Tigers over the Burma theater (who got military support)and VERY much like Air America who flew missions in Laos, Cambodia and other places and when these missions were cancelled they went back to the Air Force, Army or Navy and resumed their normal duties with promotions. Air America went places where the US Services wouldn’t or couldn’t go because the commanders didn’t want to be responsible for the death or destruction of military personnel or equipment.

You'd lose that bet.
