Of course, if you consider that at the height of dotcom boom here in the U.S. contractors could earn about 130-150k doing such exotic stuff as Oracle or SAP programming the pay isn't that great, considering the risk of become either a corpse or a vegetable. Plus, we don't have National Health and most medical insurance policies typically exclude injuries caused by acts of war, insurrection or usurpation of power--all three of which surely fit Iraq. Life insurance may also be somewhat hard to obtain.
Lastly, Ft. Benning is an infantry training center--one wonders what the hapless contractor would be learning there.
