I bet that Abby guy would do it. I think one of his posts this one time made just a quick reference to his National Guard service in that region.

ok, let's get something straight here.

Let's not, if we're you, call me out on that sort of thing. Cuz at some point in this near decade of posting, I contributed something at some point.
If nothing else, my bipolar explosions at (insert poster name here) was entertaining.

I have been in the middle east and it sucks. Fuck that whole place and everyone that comes out of that shit hole.

Would I go there for a fucking dump truck full of money? Fuck yes I would. I did it for next to nothing and I lived. Stop being a pussy and get your ass over there and make some serious coin. ($69K aint serious coin, unless you have been making nothing for a few years).

You can go over there as an aircraft mechanic and make $250K, an electrician (on houses and bullshit) and make about $150K and several other jobs for $100K plus.

$69K, you had better be getting blowjobs on a regular basis and working in air conditioning, or getting to mow down a bunch of locals with a vulcan cannon.

Fatalities of contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan surpassed those of U.S. troops in 2009 and the first six months of 2010, according to an analysis of deaths and injuries in both countries over the past decade.

A total of 436 contractors and 383 troops died in the two theaters from January 2009 through this June, the analysis shows. In previous years, military deaths surpassed those of contractors.

Injuries to contractors far exceed those suffered by troops. Contractors account for 73 percent of all injuries since 2001.

Considering the amount of people over there, what is the chance that you get killed? Fuck it! Youre probably better off dead than working some bullshit job here. You probably have a better chance getting killed in the parking lot of the state fair, or walking to your car past all of those Fred Sanford looking houses.

If you don't do it, you will regret it when you get older (I am assuming that you are younger than I am). You will come back with some good stories too.
