Nothing like hearing from the troops to get a better appreciation of what it's like on the ground.

I understand that it's also pretty hairy for the security consultants at the Baghdad airport who are on the ground in Iraq, watching out for "the enemy" while looking over their shoulders at their own supervisors ripping off the U.S. Air Force with phony billings through dummy corporations in the Cayman Islands (reference to Custer Security).
