Outsourcing the War

I like the title of this thread : Outsourcing. Bush can coverup the number of official casualties by using these outsourced resources.

 

Yeah, and he can also funnel money to private interests that pay $80,000 a year for truck drivers. While US troops over there are making about a quarter of that amount.

 

This and virtually every thread created by this "member" reminds me of another thread from a while back:

How do you destroy the enemy's morale and will to fight?

It's not unsimilar to another thread entitled How to Foster Anti-War Sentiment among Americans.

Briant, is this what your purpose is? Some people take action, some people bitch. Which one are you?

 

I would have to say he is the bitch...I mean he is the one of the people that bitch.

 

Outsourcing resources and man power during a time of war is nothing new. It's been happening for centuries.

As forementioned, I think you just enjoy complaining. You're the liberal propoganda machines bitch, carrying out it's every whim. You seem to complain of Bush's overuse of power, but what you fail to realize is that people in power absolutely love impressionable minds like yourself.

 

The story is about war profiteers. People who view war as a way to further their political objectives and as a way to make a lot of (taxpayer) money.

 

Again, has been happening for centuries. It's nothing new.

 

So have a lot of things. War profiteering is something that should not be tolerated. The US Army and Marine Corps cannot provide security for generals and cannot drive trucks around?

 

You'd be surprised at how many people think that's all it takes. Simple minds. Profiting happens in any industry. If making a profit upsets you, come work for me free. Or are you more special than others that have to make a living?

 

And why can't the military do these jobs?

Once again, I have to get Smedley on you:

Who says they do not? There are logistics that a simple mind like yours just cannot fathom. Better stick with whining and moaning. You seem to have those two down pretty well.

When will you be coming to work for me, free? I have some chores I need you to get started on this week.

 

So you are saying the military that is already being funded by the US taxpayers can do the job? the question then is why funnel money to people like this:

I've stated you don't have the ability to comprehend the logistics. And that is true. Not interested in huffington post.

What have you done for your country besides bitch, whine, moan and complain? Are you mooching your freedoms off the backs of others?

 

He's not mooching, he's trying to undermind our liberties by making a mockery of democracy.

 

I'm trying to expose war profiteers, while you defend them. Who's mooching?

 

By calling out the war profiteers? Ask Smedley:

Actually it reminds me a lot of why people should not do drugs, or listen to liberals.

 

And some people shill.

 

To quote your article: "[War] is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable..."

I've said it before and i'll say it again, it's been going on for centuries. It's human nature to try and make your life better... get over yourself, it's nothing new.
