CSG: :I don't see too many Boomers out there in the bush with us Gen X'ers. But I certainly see alot of you riding desks happy to have us do your dirty work."

====================================

I'm confused, your post implies that you yourself are in service fighting the war ("in the bush with us") but your profile says you're riding a desk in a company that is profiting from the war. Which is it? Out there getting it done or just stealing the glory of the guys who are just because of your age?

By your statement alone someone who is in the know could assume that you really don't have a need to know, nor do you understand what its all about. But if you really want to know, I'll gladly divulge how I am putting my money where my mouth if you'd like to PM me.

Secondly, if you think Defense Contractors just are war profiteers you don't have a clue about what is really going on. I know plenty of DefCons who are out dodging lead mosquitoes in the WoT. Unfortunately, in the world we live in Contractors, and Civilians have to step in to keep the warfighter fighting, like no other time in history. A Vietnam Legacy that's come home to roost.

Oh please. Through Clinton we outsourced many of our military out to civilian contractors. Most of them are ex-military. It's a different military than it was in 1970 when my biological served.
