Mercenaries Quotes

You read the paper and four more soldiers last week died and mercenaries have killed 27 people in Baghdad, mercenaries who are getting money from our tax dollars that should be going to protect the troops, and I`m depressed about the Cubs game. There`s a disconnect there. My point in all seriousness is that it`s such an abstraction, and this government has asked us to sacrifice nothing for this. The troops are sacrificing everything. It just seems like an obscenity.

- John Cusack
