I know- I do think it is a shame. I am worried that there will be large groups of civilians who have seen combat in this war- or who have seen the ravages of war, and who are left behind when they get back.

I worry about the families who are worried about a loved one and hear the bashing- what about those children. Americans should be supportive of any effort to bring this war to a close and get our people home safe.

I am supportive of that. By any means necessary- get our Americans home and make Iraq have less, as in NO MORE, terrorists.

I know there is the issue of pay- but hey- we are a capitalist system- that is just the way the ball bounces- I suppose just about anyone can volunteer to go and work over there. I dont think I am brave enough.

Here is one way of looking at it, Contractors are doing a job to free up a solider.

I wish troops made millions of dollars- but I am not in charge of that. If I were, hollywood would have to pay the troops out or their own pocket whenever they wanted to make a movie..... :]

Hey yall are doing more for this country than I am- so my hat is off to you!

And in most cases, carry a military ID card as well as Geneva Convention category but are unarmed.

They eat, sleep, and work alongside their military counterparts in non combatant positions in order to free up combatant positions and provide continuity when units rotate.

Thanks so much for your concerns!
