You couldn't pay me enough to go to Iraq. Every day, people go there on their own free will. While it is sad when anyone gets hurt or killed, the troops go because they understand the dangers. Why civilians go is beyond me. So what if Halliburton is paying you $90,000 a year to drive a bus, you’re risking your life every day. What is hardest to understand are the people who go without financial gain or military obligation. I'm guessing this guy went because he thought he could make some kind of difference for the people of Iraq.
