's family tries to sue the government because they lost a loved one ? Oh , that may have already been done , Cindy Sheehan ??? When you VOLUNTEER you KNOW the risk involved before hand and you make a decision as to are the risk worth the effort ? obviously these civilian contractors are paying alot of money to volunteers , I was offered $136K , TAX FREE , for a one year contract as a truck driver , it's tempting but it is not worth the risk when there are still attacks going on , and they told me I CANNOT have ANY firearm or any type of weapon period. That made the odds worse , I mean come on , I am a veteran I am very well aquainted with the m-16 and a m-203 , all I'd want is about 2 thousand rounds for each oh yea and a sidearm too , and I like my sig. but they said no way so in return so did I.
