No.

Are you aware of what cooks do?

They cook food. For our folks. They could poison hundreds, if they wanted.
Try to kill hundreds with a gasoline tanker.

Cooks can do more damage than truck drivers.

Witchdr claimed that Halliburton was saving me Precious Taxpayer Dollars
by
hiring locals. I said, no, they're hiring $80k truck drivers from here -- 
and that's a lot more than a soldier makes. It's more than two soldiers
make.

Then there was something about how truck drivers needed to be security
screened and so they were expensive, but Halliburton could still hire
local
cooks and save money that way.

See what I mean? How is hiring mercenaries doing us Any Goddamn Good at
all?
