30K is really underpaid for the wet work. I mean really, any Marine worth his stripes has to be able to kill several Iraqi's a day, say at least 1200 or so in a 12 month tour with 2 weeks R&R and weekends off. With paid assassinations going for 10K to 50K a pop that's at least 120M for a years worth of light work. Come-on Uncle Sam you cheap bastard. And there's this also, most victims of regular assassins don't have the weapons at hand to fight back so except for the easy kills (woman, children and old unarmed men) this Iraq wet work is much more dangerous.
