Yeah. It occurred to me as I was thinking about IT contracting for the
Gummint, which is my line of work.

Would there were more nut-swinging. It's annoying and sleazy in IT.
It's flat WRONG when it comes to 18 year old kids getting their limbs
shot off while being told--and believing, I think--that they went to
fight for "freedom." Not even sure what that word means, as Our
Fearless Leader uses it. 

Again--poor bastards. They're gonna come home to people knowing they
got ripped off, just like the last asian land war we got mired in. At
least this time people are sympathetic to them.
