Let's talk corruption/waste in the military procurement/spending process.
I know we've got some recently ex-military people on here. I'd like to hear anecdotes (verifiable, if possible) of any indications of corruption (especially among contractors) that you've seen while in the service.

Current soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines, I'm assuming you can't talk about this sort of thing while you're in. If you can, feel free to add your stories.

2. Check out Soldiers for the Truth website
www.sftt.org has more than enough anecdotes and eyewitness stuff. Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater and all the other porkers with their snouts in a very big trough.
