If you know history, it looks like the Congo all over again... Where the local gov't contracted out to some mercs - who came in, kicked EVERYONE's A$$- then were promptly dismissed by the United Nations who said that type of thing was their territory and then they screwed the entire country (and continent) to this day with no end in sight... here we go again...

Red-thanks-should have thought of that-I was searching the webb yesterday and saw a heck of a lot of jobs out there these days-
Dynacorps has some .
So does CSA in Kuwait- thats a good starting place to work and make contacts
pay is less than others but the family plan if you have your wife with you is very good
and great jump off place for traveling to europe/asia for both family or single guys/gals.
