Looking at the latest Washington Technology  it’s hard not to jump back from the screen at the sight of this headline:

Should we care if a contractor dies in a warzone?

WT makes the point that military deaths are quickly well publicized,

“Meanwhile, contractors are seen as expendable or of little consequence, although they are vital to fulfilling operations, said Jacques Gansler, formerly undersecretary of defense for acquisition, logistics and technology.”

Read the WT story and see if you feel a little undervalued.
