.Paying the Sons of Iraq to stand on their own
"Al Jalam, Iraq-
As the big Army vehicles rolled into the abandoned warehouse area, the adult men and teenagers tossed their cigarettes and were herded into semblances of lines. It was payday. Lt. Erich Almante, 27, carried a camouflage backpack full of stacks of Iraqi money. The Iraqis had been waiting for him in the hot morning sun and already knew how the Americans work. If they wanted to get paid they had to be organized and have the correct paperwork.
They would have their picture snapped, their retinas scanned and thumbprints taken. In another room they’d get photographed again and with their newly minted security force IDs they’d get what they came here for, about $350,000 Iraqi Dinar or $210 dollars for a month’s worth of guarding new checkpoints outside of Samarra."
