I have not heard that, but I believe the soldiers deserve it.\n\nAs for the other poster...I remember it being like $110 as well and always thought it was odd how they could put a dollar figure on hazardous duty.\n\nI wish your family the best with your husbands deployment and a safe and speedy return for him.

Well since I am a stay at home mom, I cant quit my job.  I would get a nanny to help me though.  Then I would buy a house on each coast, one in the mountains and a yact and RV and travel every were.  Plus I would get my kids a tutor or something and do the home schooling so we are not stuck anywere so they can go to school.\n\nI would buy a house for everyone I care about or pay off their morgatages.  My daughter would finally have her horse and my son could have his race car.\n\nI would donate money to the town I live in for the schools and other things that just dont ever get enough money.\n\nMostly I would just be happy and kick back and do what I want to for the rest of my life and never worry about the electric being shut off again.

I don't think it's a whole hell of a lot.  Between the combat pay and the tax free income, etc., we were only pulling in an extra $700 a month.  I'm not going to sneeze at an extra $700 a month, but my hubby lived through 4 IED explosions, in which the last sent him into surgery in Baghdad and then eventually home.  It wasn't worth it to me.  The stress that was on him (and the PTSD afterwards), on me and the kid, and on every member of his family every day,..... I would gladly give it back to know that he's safe and not coming home with future surgeries and months of physical therapy scheduled.

Sure, coz that way you'd be generating more employment and serving your country. Of course there are risks involved.

Um I am pretty sure that already do. I have seen ad for private companies wanting ex military to go to Iraq and work for them. They pay really well too.

You are an absolute idiot. Stop listening to the media and actually attempt to find the truth in this matter. I have three siblings who went to Iraq several times each and all have said how much they love Americans for getting rid of their tyrannical dictator. If we benefit while we are over there, is that not a fair trade?? This is a highly mutualistic proposition for both countries, and the only really bad thing about is that it has cost the U.S. a bundle.

Why do you want to? If you have a valid reason then ok, but if it's worth staying for then stay! Think, you get paid for it and it is nearly xmas!

I would do it for expenses. I might even do it for one dollar. It would be a wonderful experience to meet the Iraqis on a one-to-one. Great idea! I will do it as soon as the Americans get out, and peace reigns again.
