Starvation of the American masses is inevitable, we'll make our fortunes from lavish estates afar and watch as your communities crumble into street violence, lawless thuggery and 3rd world squalor.

As planned key-events draw near, we're prepared for Martial Law, our police forces are now fully conditioned and ready to strike against you, the American enemy.

Obey us, your new rulers, we own everything you see around you.

In the coming months, you will beg for our control and worship us as GODS...

They are stealing our money, and what are we doing about it???

They always have a guy with a strong English accent, so they can sound more credible?

Why can’t they give the soldiers the option to do the work, and earn ½ of what Halliburton’s Thieves are getting?

They keep changing their name:

Halliburton to KBR, XE, Tax Thieves, Dicks’ Army, Mercenaries, and ……..

i liked ron paul on the debates he really hit the core of the issues

he didnt dance around the edges

what a second rate set of canidates all the rest were obama didnt even show up

thats how i knew for sure he would be the one to lose

and i couldnt care less after i saw that who won

i found a old saying in the 1700's about how they thought about the military

" a sailor before a dog a dog before a soldier " i pondered the meaning of this for some time

this man talking about the "need for KBR as if we want to have war as a vacation or a reasonable career".

We wnat war to be a service of last resort not a way of life. This man must have money to make in the dramas of war.

Training men to be responsible as individuals, reasonable among peers, and team work for the benefit of all; these are the skills we respected and valued of the men who fought in previous situations.

Transparency and accounting skills will benefit troops!
