#1 Something is not adding up to me. If our military lost as many senior people as these guys had,we'd be Muslim by now. Either someone is lying to us, or senior means over the age of 15.

#2 plainslow - I think the promotion plan works kinda like in law firms & Big Six accounting firms - up or out (i.e., make partner in 5-7 years or get lost).

With al-Queda it's even better - up and out!

#3 Your probally right Raj. Kinda like Churn and Burn
"There is a phrase amongst sales & marketing people known as "churn & burn". What it means is go find as many prospects as you can, tell them whatever you have to tell them to get the sale (the churn part) -- and then the customers are "burned" when they realize that the product or service will never do what the salesman said it would."

#4 senior al Qaeda foreign fighter translates into the "oldest moron who isn't dead yet"

Still, for these guys, it's a pretty big promotion!

#5 Michael Lewi in his Liars Poker described Solomon Brothers learning on the job by blowing up customers.

#6 That is to say, he described on-the-job training at Solomon Brothers was largely at the expense of blowing up customers....
