Clearly there is absolutely no will to win. There is every will to

RPG while watching their backs.

A lot of the "security contractor" thing is a charade anyway.
Before the stop-loss insanity, many of the qualified smart grunts and
their officers bailed out of the military and formed, or went to work
for, the "contractors" for the larger salaries. Then we have the gall
to express horror when these "civilians" are targeted. They've only
changed uniforms.




The draft dodgers and goldbricks that inhabit the administration never
learned the lessons of Vietnam - they had more important things to do
with their life when other men in uniform were preserving freedom and
Democracy and standing against the Communist menace.
