Wow, that's just, wow. I would never take that job. Course I'm british, so I can't.

Btw, Redmenace, any chance you can do us a new SSE optimized build like you used too.. it's almost been 2 months. and no-one else seems to be able to build the optimized builds...  :blah:

ROFL. Well I finish the semester on Monday. So between bf2crack and Graduation I hope to catch up on alot of builds.

As per Iraq, depending on what the danger pay is, I might consider it.

I'll assume you are just joking........

Actually I am not. Truth be told I have a few friends deployed there now. Depending where the work would be done is also important. If I had to work in the Anbar Province I would not go. I am certain that most work would be done in the green zone if in bagdad. But there were a few contract specialists from DCC-W that were killed by an RPG in their living areas.

I am just considering it. I am however, convinced that I want to do an overseas assignment though.
Top choices would be:
1. England
2. Germany
3. Belgium
4. Italy
5. Greece
6. Switzerland
7. Japan

If do some of these, I have to meet some of you characters over in Europe.

I'm sure you've thought this through, but stil...I question the wisdom of entering a warzone, quite probably the most dangerous place on Earth right now, to get a job. If you get an opportunity to go somewhere else, somewhere where you can drive down the street without sweating bullets, I say take it. Just my two cents.

I'm willing to bet that China has a higher average mortality rate than Iraq.

Got any proof of that?

The adult mortality rate in Iraq is 4 times higher for men, and 2 times higher for women than China.

So what did you bet? ;7

China has the slight advantage of actual hospitals and medicine and stuff, though.
