We pay more for a rent-a-grunt foot soldier then we do for Gen Patraeus. We get less accountablity, but what the heck who’s really coutning the deaths over over-paid mercenaries? Muuuuch easier than asking Congress for the necessary manpower for the military. Man are the taxpayer getting screwed, but as long as the money goes to GOP supporters, it’s all good. Right?
