Who is now a regular viewer/listener of NPR and TV?

Nova had a good program on China last night and there was a program following it that was called Private Warrior re Blackwater Security, KBR and the rest of dimwit wannabe mercenaries who would rather shoot people or run over them with an SUV than eat.

1. Private Warrior was great

but depressing. What affected me was private contractor employees although being paid outrageously are choosing to leave...and our boys are left with no supplies as contracted out.

4. What pissed me off was the wage difference... our military

pays a mere pittance compared to what these chaos creators make.

6. and don't have the ability to leave! n/t

[lonestarnot]

7. well they do if they want to be court martialed and I'd rather be

court martialed than fight in a war of lies!

2. don't watch much tv at all

and I'm having trouble with npr as it spins ever rightward.

3. Nightline had a point about the ice cream

and all the other fancy food supplied to our troops. If lives are being risked to deliver the food and it costs $20 a meal to produce, how is privatizing the mess hall benefiting anyone?

5. KP and Latrine duty are for outsourcing to Mexicans according

to Blackwater and KBR.
