A kiwi driver got blown to bits 2 weeks ago in iraq, he knew of the dangers but was drawn to iraq by the huge money he could make. (Big contracts of 200grand or more) In 5 yrs working there he could come home and retire if he wanted to he was into his 2yr. 37yr old father of three, was about to have a break and head back home to see his family. Was killed by driving over a mine.
I suppose thats the risk you gotta take.
