... for ex-Defense Contractors,
like cleaning up our Federal Parks or patching up our roads.
Of course, they would miss their private jets and Summer Homes in Aspen,
but at least they would be doing something that actually helps America,
AND look at the Karmic Benefits for them!
PLUS, The World would be a much safer place.
AlQaeda and other Mid-East Terrorist organizations would wither & die without the Great Satan building bases in their countries and killing their families & friends.

A WIN/WIN for EVERYBODY!!!!
