Reply #27: yeah, the wars have greatly benefited [View All]

[newspeak]

contractors like Halliburton and KBR. Gee, I wonder if darth cheney profited?

Let's see, approximately 23 billion is unaccounted in Iraq, services being privatized, corporations have literally made a killing, shoddy construction on rebuilding iraq and instead of hiring iraqis, some corporations have hired outside slave labor.

So, how much are the corporate contractors charging the military in afghanistan for fuel? We keep shoveling money to these corporate contractors, some who have their primary offices in places like Dubai, and yet, those services that aid those who have sacrificed their lives is on the chopping block?

Okay, you threaten draft, let's do it!!!! At least a soldier may only experience two tours instead of six or seven. Maybe those chickenhawks who cheer for war but have other things to do "can put their money where their mouth is." And, just maybe all americans will get involved and the "invisible" war will be made more visible. Oh, and while we're at it, in times of REAL war you do not cut taxes, especially on those who can afford to pay and those who are profiting on said wars!!!!
