War is hell and sometimes hell offers opportunities.When the United States military comes calling, we come with not only the best weapons on the planet and a bunch of hard ass soldiers, but with enough cash to buy anyone who stands in our way.But nothing is ever simple in war...or in Iraq.Harry Moore was a hustler from Alabama.Smart, good looking, but far too lazy, Harry joined the Army because they were the only chance he had to get someone to pay for a law school degree through their Funded Legal Education Program (FLEP).But when his name didn't make the yearly list his plan collapsed and he became desperate. He hated the Army and hated being told what to do and when to do it.Structure and discipline interfered with his relaxed attitude towards life.He didn't want to wait another year to reapply.At the same time Harry's dream collapsed another untraceable shipment arrived where he worked, at Building Seven of Baghdad International Airport (BIAP).No paperwork, no computer records, just a high ranking officer and a civilian who arrived with the shipment and kept it under verbal command only.The few who figured out that the shipments existed suspected they were cash from the CIA.Harry recruited the hardest soldiers he knew, including Julian a young man who needed therapy more than a gun, and Mamo, a man much too nice to be at war.
