Deserve every dime is right, Larry. The contrails of the big lifters taking US troops to and from Iraq lace the sky over my home. One landed in Halifax recently, bringing home several wounded from a bomb-blast in Iraq, one needing emergency surgical assistance. A civilian doctor worked for a half-hour in the darkened and noisy cavern with the aircraft engines running---and lost him--- while medical personnel tried to shield his buddies from the outcome.
