Basically it boils down to our government doesn't want us to look like mercenaries. But if I stumbled on Saddam and got him I'd tell bruce to hold that 1 mil for me until I got out of the military. But then I'm in the AF and unless I get in a plane crash I'm not likely to "stumble" accross Sadaam.



I think that gift limit is for gifts from foreign sources but i might be mistaken.
