I don't know that I buy this. Contractor rates in Iraq are much higher than this guy's (especially if you take a few minutes and SWAG out the "billable hours" that must go into a single reclamation). You could easily argue that Iraq contractors face much less risk.

This guy makes a market rate on the value of the bank repossessing the jet. Iraqi contractors make what the US Government is willing to pay defense contractors. That's the difference.
