Rome wasn't built in a day.
And while people bitch about being there, you better believe I would be bitching to the camera if I was there also, matter of fact, I bitch about going to work (which is what they are doing) every single day. Furthermore, they are compensated for their time and service, with SERIOUS pension plans (my old boss was a 20 year army vet and was taking home like 80k a year TAX FREE just from that ON TOP of his 55k salary) and get their college education PAID FOR IN FULL.

I feel ya Scav, I got a buddy that has been in Kuwait for about 3 years contracting. He was in military. He is pulling about 200k a year. He gets mad pu-nany too! He has a fat assed house here, drives a fully loaded Escalade. He is doing pretty damn good! I'm considering going myself. I think he can get me a job over there. I could do 6 mos. and make probably 50k.
