I think a certain amount of activity like this should be expected and encouraged.

From another thread about pay rates.

Australian troops in designated war zones get their normal pay (a Private earns between $36 607 and $46 210 depending on specialisation. Regular infantry earn $39 808), PLUS combat pay of $200 per DAY, PLUS seperation and field allowance of $50 per DAY, PLUS (for the SAS troops) $155 per DAY special forces pay.

And it's all TAX FREE while in the War Zone.

The LOWEST paid Aussie is getting between $359 and $514 per DAY TAX FREE.

I really envy FReeper Dundee right about now.
