As you are a defence expert, you would know best on this...is there a mark up on compensation for services rendered or is at cost? How is this determined? Any independent figures? I don't believe the exaggerated claims on this forum and I remember a few years back the State dept said accounts received by them was not transparent and exorbitant.
I am not sure about the famed moderate progressive mindset etc anymore after a few weeks on PDF. a large percentage are blood thirsty to put it mildly - see thread here on some sorry Afghan who had the temerity to criticize Pak on. Pak soil....but yes, pakistanis respect education which is a huge plus and they are willing to work hard, again a huge plus - I don't see this same work ethic or respect for education in the ME.
