While I will agree that there are some highly paid contractors doing security in the war zone, there are also people who aren't. Lots of people providing support services. A few of them are government civilians who were killed when bombs were lobbed into the green zone.

And yes, some of the hostages were government civilians, and I'd say they served their country. And I'm not comparing myself to a hostage, but on the other hand if I had been kidnapped by a drug lord, I would have been a hostage too. Or if I had been killed by a sniper, I would be just as dead as someone in a uniform.

Swimmer, I'm not trying to take anything away from the military. But, I am saying that there are more ways to serve your country than you might think.
