Can't stop but here's the situation.
I've been contacted about a position in Iraq.
Here's the deal.
1 year renewable contract somewhere north of Baghdad. $140,000.00 pa tax free, 3 months on, 2 weeks off.
Would you go? I'm tempted. What do ya'll think?

Only if you stay inside a tank surrounded by SAS soldiers for the duration of your stay.

You're in an enclosed camp surrounded by barbed wire apparently. I'm told you get a bodyguard on the rare occasions you leave the camp (but what good that would do me if we drove over a roadside bomb I'm not sure) -

But if I went I could be "Howard - Our Man in Baghdad" and give you live reports from the ground! Think about that - your very own reporter! -

Yes, it's not THAT great is it?
Money's no good if you're dead, and you stand a higher chance of being that if you're in a war zone. -
