My mistake, I assumed when you referred to BUYING (rather then employing) a human commodity that was the equivelent to slavery.

I am not offended by people who do not share my views on supporting our troops or think they should be better compensated for their risks and services. Just because they do it out of patriotism does not relieve us of the obligation of proper compensation regardless what anyone else thinks! IMHO

You must be a Kerry supporter! LOL
