"trying to save the US taxpayer money by using private businesses." Halliburton just refunded 27 million it stole while providing meals to our military. It would be much cheaper if the military provided the sevices themselves, as they used to. The army is taking recruits up to 48 years old now - how old are these "retirees"? I'm sure if they wanted to serve for "patriotic" reasons, the military would take them back! usatoday.com It's just war profiteering by the Dickster's old company. They'll reward him on the flip side, and he knows it. If "privatizing" is so economical, why don't we just contract out the entire war to mercenaries?
