$150,000 incentive to stay in US elite forces:

"The Pentagon is offering six-figure bonuses to members of the special forces in an attempt to stop the haemorrhaging of America's ?lite military units to far better paid jobs as civilian 'mercenaries'.
About 1,500 NCOs will be eligible for a range of incentives depending on how long they re-enlist for. The highest payments of $150,000 will go to the most experienced NCOs who pledge to serve six more years."
