Tell you what, most of the professional soldiers are none too happy with it either, as they get about 10% or less of the pay of these guys - who are doing the same thing and with the same training. When they do 'special' missions they get paid much more. When a soldier does a special mission he gets the same pay he gets when he is washing his socks or watching TV. At one time in Iraq, all top US Officals had Blackwater guards and drivers/security - none of it was Army or other US Services....
