Great, a job as an accounts clerk in a war zone. Life don't get much better.

Actually I know a lot of people who have volunteered to go out there and work in support roles. They're not actually based in the danger zones and the remuneration is very attractive.

I feel I should just point out that, in addition to my inherent cowardice, I have no accountancy qualifications whatsoever.
