What a guy! Go Bush Go! Job security has never been better - for modern-day ex-US Special Forces type mercenaries anyway - than it has been under the current Bush administration.

Oh yeah, sure!! Being a mercenary in this day n age totally rocks!! With any luck you can even manage to reach retirement with your limbs intact and in one piece! And what about those "high paying" soldiers? Things are so good for them now, that they don´t even need to sell their equipment to their enemies, like the Russian army did! Huummm, no, wait! Yes they do!!
At least
THIS GUY did!! He made a bundle selling US Army goods, just when his brothers in arms needed them the most!
Hurray for good old fucking capitalism!!

PS:I know you were being sarcastic too, Ranger. Sometimes sarcasm is the only way to prevent going berserk over this shit. I imagine the story about the selling of body armour will have you in total and complete anger, over this guy. Being a soldier yourself, i´m sure you will "aprecciate" what he did.
Just imagine how many have died that could have been saved, had they been issued the standard armour upon arrival in Iraq.
Yup, Bush is doing good by the troops, all right... Makes you wonder how they can cheer and applaude Bush´s visits to the troops on the ground.
