    I love it when US marines are called "mercenarys". Do you have any idea how much they get paid? i am pretty sure almost all of them could make much more money in a much safer job.

    i have a hard time believing anyone would serve in iraq for money.


    Back to the subject:

    I got a warning for saying that i had 40 IP addresses and that i would use them to spam the .org into oblivion


    I only got "0" waring points for it though

    Well I know it was the money that attracted me. 90 dollars every two weeks. I was making 180 a week as a civilian before i joined. I guess it was the fact that i looked forward to bootcamp so much or the fact that I looked forward to being called nasty names.

    All we ever wanted and Im sure the same can be said today is a simple thank you for serving instead of ridicule. Ours is to do or die ours not to question why. Soldiers obey orders. We were no different from the Marines who served in WW2 and todays Marines carry on the same traditions.

    There ARE mercenaries in Iraq. I think it's a good percentage of the soldiers there. Or so I've heard from the CBC. And they get paid TONS, to protect the different company officials that come there to do business to rebuild the place.

    Yes Byzantine Prince there are some mercenaries in Iraq working as security forces for some different companies - however they are not United States Servicemen and women. And they are definetly not United States Marines.

    The comment by Raforos was uncalled for and deserves the same warning status as the individual who responded with coward. It was pure emotional appeal garbage and an attempt to demonize those with an opposite viewpoint.
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    Wow marines being mercanares now that is sad. I've had at least one family member in the military since ww2 and if thats a mercanary salary stick me in a cubicle and leave me there to rot. I can understand if your agisant the war. Its a free country and you are entitled to your god given opinion but please dont forgot who gave you the right to have that opinion and don't knock this man who is a probaly a father, husband , son, uncle and he is doing what his country asks of him and he is fufilling it.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Thank you.
    The surest way to lose the respect of one's peers is to take a stand on principle...alone.
