the umbrella term "contractors" is ........... people building things, but at the end of this long bodied misguided frail description is huge scorpion stinger.

This guys is re-imagining the word "mistakes." When you smash a country for voting against your interests it might more accurately be called something else.

Soldiers, just like us, deserve to know everything about the real reasons of their duties. They deserve independent conscience to post objection to those wrong policies. Security is not legitimacy of reason to make them lost their conscious of reality. American should not repeat the bad history that heroes didn't know anything about what they were doing. If they are set up for defending our nation, they have to first defend their own conscience from most direct above. They don't die for money.

Here's the hitch, when you suspend the very structures that prohibit one man from waging war, you have this, time and time again.The box of war is open and now while the man in office has changed, nothing else will. The fix is in and hold on to your hats, it's going to get worse. Here in the EU, it has been revieled that 18 countries have recieved contaminated Flu vaccines, contaminated with live flu virus's and the bird flu virus.Know that for this to happen at all would have had to be planned.
