Texsox Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I was just reading a little bit about the man in Iraq who was murdered (beheaded) by terrorists. He is a small business owner from Philadelphia, trying to make some money rebuilding the country. How does one get linked to a job like that? I cannot believe anyone would move over there and work but I guess some thrill seekers will. I just googled and found this link.

southsider2k5 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 People have the opportunity to earn a lifetimes worth of wages, in about a year. That is a big lure for people. Think about the stories of some of the kidnapped. They needed the extra money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing That's a big seller amongst ex-military and folks looking for some action without joining the military and those who want to make some big bucks. The security people there make a minimum of 100K tax free & I can only imagine what the people with engineering or construction skills get.

This leads me to a question. While guys like Tillman receive a great deal of attention, deservingly so for their patriotism, how many guys are action junkies, that would fight for whoever is the highest bidder?

DBAHO Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Sum ppl just thought they could make extra money I guess, although I think a lot will be second guessin themselves now if they still wanted to go ova to make a buck or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is actually capable of fighting and is looking for big money they are in the wrong racket if they're in the military. Thing of it is that a fair amount of guys go into the military and the SF and learn their trade then get out and go to work for some contractor for big money.
