CWO3 (Join to see) I'm not there at the moment. But as I mentioned on this thread:
For it to be a repeat of Iraq there would have to be 1. A fully functional government before we invaded 2.

Did you Guys do any work up there with DynCorp? They have an extended contract with the Army and possibly the Air Force. That said as we (US Forces) roll out why are Mil contractor contracts being renewed for Five Years?
