Soldiers lack necessities, contractors earn huge profits

They do it to survive I guess. Once these basic necessities are met, however, money doesn't seem to help a whole lot when it comes to happiness. If happiness is what they are looking for I guess

God bless the Canadian Army :P

These are nothing but army guys bitching!! I am a Marine we had nothing that the army had. Yet they send us to the most fucked up parts!! We had nothing!! One guy is bitching about not getting his laundry back. I just got back from Afghanistan we wash our cloths in the river!!! My pussy hurts thats the army!!

Why thanks for the compliment. They don't charge 90$. Besides we all bought out own washing machines and trucked them to our outpost when we lived there for 3 months. As far as KBR we use to gives those boys rides everywhere in Diyala. Now the big convoys? sure it's a buisness. I never gaurded Pogues so I'm guessing you are one. Trans companies wine to much. I go to the outsorce people for intel, road conditions, supplies ECT, You want to talk symantics, the circle never ends. Hows Green bean?

where as those soldiers would cost upwards of 70K per head a year in the combat zone and that dosnt include how much we train them, feed them and their family, and perhaps have to do this for 20 years and possibly more per soldier. PC's will never go away and if anything will get used more so the forces can make room for more combat soldiers and less Pogues (support or non combat arms. Personaly I'd rather have haliburton bring me my mail and food, where as a 88M unit would drag their heels.

wrong wrong wrong. Even the biggest critics understand that these guys are hired for effciency. And they dont rape tax payers. Our government under any administration has used PC's for many things. It cost them less to hire truck drivers outsorced than it cost to buy the truck, train the guy to train the guy to drive the truck X's 3 (3 to a truck normaly) plus military pay, benefits, housing, insurance, DOD schools, ect ect. or pay one guy 90K and he brings the truck and it comes with mechanics

you dont get the profits the corrupt American congress gets it

blood money
it was one thing when we all thought it was just blood for oil
but in reality, it's just blood for money.
cooperate feudal imperialism
inexcusable indelible unforgivable, and most of all unconscionable.
