We are paying more civilians than soldiers to be in Iraq. We pay the civilians WAY more than we would pay a soldier to do the same jobs. In previous wars, we didn't have such a light (political) stomach for having a large mobilized army. In this war, we are using private companies to do soldiery things, and when we piss off the nation we saved from tyranny, they are free to tell those civilians to beat feet.
Why, again, can't we have buck-privates pulling gate watches and KP duty?
