Seems a bit excessive to me. I’d do 18 years in prison for a guarantee of $5 million — that’s $278,000 a year, or $23,000 a month, or $5,342 a week, or $133 an hour for a 40-hour work week or $32 an hour for every actual hour he was incarcerated. I’m sure others would too if it were offered at that rate. Our soldiers in Iraq offer their lives for a lot less after all — though most don’t do it for the money alone of course.

You must be kidding. I would definitely not do it for five million. Yes I have been to Iraq but for six months at a time. I know they are longer now, but still you had some freedoms. I have been in 20 years and seems like a long time. I just hear to many horror stories about jail. Have you ever seen that show OZ? Yieks! I saw one episode almost by accident...no thank you.

The dead have no freedoms. On Memorial Day at least of all days, you should recognize that a lot of good men gave their lives so you could be free. They willingly gave up not 18 years of imprisonment, but their lives.
