A squad is what? 13 men? Somehow that 100K figure seems low when you figure the total cost invested. Salary alone would be north of $100,000.

Apparently, this guy, who is just the latest in a long line of military geniuses who felt compelled to share his opinion with us, has difficulty with simple arithmatic.
$100,000? A squad? Moron.

Right, and it costs many times that to equip, feed, and train them.
They didn't walk to Iraq and when they got there, they didn't walk into battle with sligshots.

A basic squad of infantry consists of 11 men. 1 squad leader, 2 team leaders, and 8 riflemen.
Occasionally they will have a gun team attached of an extra 3 men.
