It sucks....every soldier hates it....(I only had to do it in another lifetime when I was 19) They used civilains in Bosnia and it saved us having to do it at most of the camps. <br />The problem that came in in Bosnia later is there were reports that the contractor didn't actually have people in all the guard post, but billed the Army for the ghoast guards anyway. <br />The other thing is, you can pay Private Snuffy E3 pay to guard a gate, or hire a contractor who's going to get at least 10 Grand a month for doing the same thing.CI-Roller Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850472230525879415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954521743936057225.post-66777658237146418062009-07-27T21:53:27.287-04:002009-07-27T21:53:27.287-04:00aam...you make an excellent point!

I would like to point out that building contractors have been used in war zones since the Vietnam War, but not as guards. Brown & Root were very much in the pocket of LBJ and the Democrats. Later as KBR, they were used by Clinton in the Balkans. These civilians provided builders, food, and laundry services - just as civilians have done since WWII. According to wiki, 81 KBR employees have been killed in Iraq and 380 wounded. KBR was not part of Blackwater. Cheney cut his ties to Halliburton in 2000. Halliburton cut their ties to KBR in 2006.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954521743936057225.post-61355639996644660932009-07-27T07:42:53.610-04:002009-07-27T07:42:53.610-04:00mightymom...as always, I do appreciate your visit!...mightymom...as always, I do appreciate your visit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433907044785046226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954521743936057225.post-22241451776975443882009-07-27T02:51:41.887-04:002009-07-27T02:51:41.887-04:00well, when you have Nobama saying he's gonna c...well, when you have Nobama saying he's gonna cut the military by 25%...and Clinttwit saying we're gonna protect the middle east with a "defense umbrella" these two agendas are mutually exclusive...therefore they have to find a way to actually DO SOMETHING without looking like they're SUPPORTING OR INCREASING the Military....hence the use of civy's . it's a baaaad idea no doubt...but I can see how it comes about...oh and then there's my step-son...who has signed up for the Army....and then was told "sorry, we've met quota...we might call you later"...(back to that reducing the military crap).MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954521743936057225.post-79575847038011578602009-07-26T23:24:46.978-04:002009-07-26T23:24:46.978-04:00AM,
