Old Baghdad blues

So anyway.
Sorry.
My letters come in bits and pieces, but I have little time.I have 2 Iraqi nationals with me when I go on jobs. National just means citizen. They get kidnapped and beaten regularly for helping us. Some get killed. They tell us that 90 percent of Iraqis are happy we are there, its just the small 1 percent that cause the problems. These guys risk their lives for $600 a month. That’s for a 60 hour week with no benefits. Some of them have never had a job in their lives. But they are happy to learn and they are VERY friendly.

more later
