What????? It's about $1M/year/troop. I think you missed something
somewhere...

I am just quoting the number that is floating around CNN and MSNBC
this week.

The $1m a year is DoD overall and includes that soldier painting
rocks
white outside an officer's club in Arkansas and a sailor working at
the Base Exchange in Norfolk

It's not $1M per hour. It's $1M per year. Don't know what CNN/MSNBC
said.
If
it's DoD over all, then it's got to be less per soldier.

You are right about the $1m per year. Now you have me curious about
the other number. Dylan Ratigan, Charley Rose and one of the CNN guys
all had the same number and I heard it to be $700k/hr. I will go back
through my DVR and see if I can get a better cite

Maybe it was $700/hour?

No it was a huge number because they were talking about it compared to
the cost of education and other things we spend a lot of money on.

$700/hour is over $1.4MM/year.

Which would at least be close...

Close to what, dip**** da plume? Show us the math.

If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a PC or a MAC, it's from an ID
