Should American Contrators in Iraq Receive the Same Honors as Soldiers?

An Ohio Mom says yes:

Donna Zovko wants Americans to remember her son Jerko "Jerry" Zovko and other contractors along with the fallen members of the nation's military.

"How will Americans treat or remember my son as a contractor that was killed?" she asked. "It's their choice, but he was there to protect our freedom and to help the Iraqis. He was not there for the money."

Yeah ... right. From Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers

One after another, military personnel, journalists, former Abu Ghraib prisoners and former employees of the companies in question present a litany of shocking accusations, from private interrogators working without supervision or accountability to outsourced food services that allow Halliburton to charge soldiers $45 for a six-pack of soda. The movie also addresses the effect of private-sector soldiers on military retention and morale: Why work for $3,000 a month when you can earn six figures with a corporation?

Should we honor people who work for companies bilking the American taxpayer for BILLIONS of DOLLARS -- all the while being protected by American soldiers who are dying by the thousands -- while protecting their convoys? Are they heroes?
