I have been amazed at some of those taking these jobs - it cannot be naivety alone. Ethics aside, I would baulk at the probable loss of my military pension and the massive blot in my employment history. How many $250k packages do you need to recover the loss of pension and will these guys be effectively stuck in this world, as an increasingly exploitable asset, if returning back to the UK becomes too uncomfortable in the near future?
If China is somehow ok just where do the lines get drawn, or is that just price dependant?
