Contractors vs Military

Contractors in the military have been utilise for some years and through step up many different warf ares, just now do they have much to offer then a emolument member? With the withdrawing of host in Iraq and Afghanistan more and more contractors whether private or establishment be taking all over jobs once held by military personnel. While this is nothing new, it has been an come in plaguing service members at basis and overseas since the war began in 2003.

In the military profits for the lowest rank and only one year of service was about $15,500 a year, small-arm the government pays contractors $500 to $1,500 a day equaling to between $150,000 to $250,000 a year.

Soldiers, marines, airmen and different service member risk their lives while they are deployed for the eff of country and for minimal pay.\nLogistics plays a major role in why so many contractors are used overseas . From truck drivers to cooks these jobs have been outsourced from service members to contractors. Reas...
