with repeated call ups and deployments. Making war on the cheap. Since it is not the Congressman's son or grandsons life, they declare war at the drop of a hat.

Those were the worst jobs I ever had. You were essentially on call 24-7 and if you were not available to work when they called, you may never get called back. I always went in when I was called. You may only get work one or two days a week, if your lucky you may get a week long or even a month long position. After a night or day of working you would find out if they were going to need you the next day, usually not. I got shipped to a dozen different locations around Kansas City; I had to drive my own car, no vans for us. As you would go to different locations, the business would tell you that they had full time openings and that we should apply. After going to one place about six times over a few months time they hired me and gave me a better position than I was getting as a temp. I was lucky. I worked there for about a year before I got another, better job, but a number of people that I was a temp with were still temps a year later. I'm white, they aren't and it always made me wonder.
