That's a critical point -- has anyone found an analysis of where these funds are going? As I understand it the DOD is rapidly privatizing its budget into mercenaries and contractors.

Friends of mine tell me about this, one offering $200k/yr position to provide training. My son-in-law got a $140k offer. The only catch? A 1-year hitch with the private firm and no trips home, having to deal with dead bodies every day, the occasional sniper, etc. He was interested, but my daughter had a different opinion <g>

This is a huge boondoggle. The defense contractors must be charging the taxpayer 10x those rates.

No wonder it costs $50mill to build a $1m bridge.
