Ask Slashdot: Working As an IT Contractor In a War Zone?
- morsch 15y agoI wouldn't consider doing this -- nor could I easily get a job there, anyway, not being from the US and all -- but I still found the comments very interesting. Contains posts by people who worked as contractors in Iraq or Afghanistan.

I also found a large, floppy hat to be useful." 2: "I still jump when I hear a dumpster lid shut (it sounds spookily like a mortar hitting)"
