One that I frequently saw was Blackwater was given missions that were more dangerous. If there was a very high risk (and I say that relatively b/c it is all high risk there) of someone dying, there was less fallout over a contractor dying than a US Military member.

Contractors of all sorts make a LOT of money in Iraq. They are also put in very dangerous situations and often do not have the same type of support that the US Military offers to armed service members.
