I found this today:
<a href='http://stuffo.howstuffworks.com/a-team-finding.htm' target='_blank'>Finding The A-team: A Stuffo Experiment</a>
It starts with him posting an ad:

Hilarity ensues.

These two in particular sounded the most serious... I'm just wondering how this thing is going to pan out. Hilarity will surely ensue though,
I really wouldn't be surprised if those are serious replies, as for the original request...
lmfao

Actually, i happen to know lots of military/ex military including 2 ex navy seals.
They are retired and have normal jobs, one is a school teacher and another runs his own accounting buessness. he was a seal in vietnam and he wont ever talk about what he did, not even to his kids..
In fact with Iraq going on the US government uses a lot of guys from these "defense contract companies" *cough cough mercenaries.
such as these guys.

I know 2 guys, both are cops now, One is ex army, an older guy but a veteran of 3 wars. They both got letters within the last year and a half from the US government offering them LOTS of $$$ to go to Iraq for 6 months (extendable to 12) to do training and "other services in regards to their past expirience".
They both said no thanks. The goverment might pay nice, ($150,000 for 6 months) but they dont have to give you insurance coverage meaning if u get wounded or killed you or your family is out of luck past what the government agreed to pay you.
In the end its cheaper than paying the real military to do the same job and if you get captured or killed, your screwed and the goverment doesnt ahve to count you in the troop casualty numbers.
One that is as cool as Leisure Suit Larry. Gets all the hot chicks and drives all the nice cars. One that has incredible charisma....says urban dictionary
Seconded.
