  • Support on lining someone's pockets for sure. Who is the question?
  • Those contractors make four times as much as any of our troops and do the same work, they get all they want like cigarettes, beers and others our troops don't, they can take a shower three times a day our troops once a day. The contractors can drink all the water they want our troops have to steal if from them so as to take the horrible heat in the area. I don't quite understand who you mean is getting the support, our troops are not getting any support at all. If someone has said the troops are getting support that is a humongous lie.
  • Don't assume that because this happened at one base in Iraq that it's "problematic." I didn't have that problem at all and we were a long way from Baghdad and Burger King. If those guys were bitching because guys were passing out from dehydration on patrols...guess what! Take more freaking water with you next time! And we were out in the boonies, not downtown Baghdad. A simple resupply request and we'd get a pallet of water. In our AO, it was usually the contractors that were short on supplies.
