It's the American way

Now we know why Cheney was selected to be Dubya's VP and why Cheney was the invisible man during Bush's eight years in office and why Cheney showed virtually no interest in running for president in 2008. Cheney was not VP to serve his country; he used his office to get rich.

These chickenhawks who avoided serving in Vietnam sent young kids to war where many died so they can make millions. That IMO is a war crime.

@@adamsavage4155 Yes many politicians are corrupt. The late John McCain said it best when he said, "We came to Washington to change it and instead, Washington changed us". But I blame the system more than the people because ever since the 2000 elections, people don't have a clear choice anymore. Both parties decide who will be their nominee; it's not determined by the voters anymore. Just look at 2016. Voters would have preferred Sanders but most states had closed primaries which assured a Clinton victory. The result was that 90 million voters just stayed at home because they didn't like either major candidate. As they say, if you don't like the rules, hate the game not the players.

@@jeffrose2105 you have no idea how war works. Veterans do the same jobs. For a penny of the cost. Veterans will go home with the same ptsd as any other contractor, and get paid $3400 a month for the rest of their lives. If you come home at 25years old. And live until your 65. That’s 40 years X $40k+ = 1.6million. And that’s just one benefit. Not including the danger and tax free money he or she made serving at the time. Not including the GI bill, housing help, Va loans etc. so yes. Feel bad for making $35k and getting millions in benefits. Yet the contractor went there for 1 year MAYBE, just MAYBE he was lucky to make 80k that year, and go home with PTSD and say good luck. And if they die out there, they won’t get any press about it.

The bad thing about this is not the lack of transparency and the enrichment, the bad thing is that it affects how many people die in wars and if there are wars at all. And despite all of that, those enriching themselves maybe even feel smart and smug about it.

60 Minutes the show where based on the thumbnail you can't tell whether the episode is 10 days or 10 years old.

I think it should be illegal for ex-military to work in private sector as consultants or be paid employees. The nobility of the service is sullied by this culling and wrangling for inside pull. In the end the entire business of war is fully embedded in government far beyond all necessity. It pays to get into fights and cause trouble. And to have these hawks running the show we are forced to pay for it in every sense of the word.

Man , games behind the scenes.. They are so smart, you must give them that..

How are we slowing this to happen?

If there are no cameras around to shine a good light on the “good work” being done then it better have billions of dollars to be made contracted!!

Old story .... Old thieves

can we see the contracts now?

The US should not be in business on what’s best for that company regarding logistics. The job should’ve been given to the lowest bidder. Once that company gets the contract it is their problem for logistics and personnel they need to satisfy the contract now

Seems like the norm for the VP position. But if you couldn't see this while it happened then you're probably still blind to these issues

Politicians and high ranking Military officers get jobs to either help or because they helped companies make money with their influence

The sole reason we went to Iraq and Afghanistan, and have been there so long that a kid born on 9/11 is old enough now to be eligible to be pressed/conscripted to fight in the conflict.... KBR and the rest of the contractors making money (more importantly Cheney and W making money)

The amount of money wasted in Iraq was crazy.

That's the true meaning of "Democracy", money and power in the possesion of a few, in effect, the new version of slavery, the populace "earning" barely enough to stay alive and "hopeful", relying on "religion" for "miracles", living off "dreams", that are "made to come true" for the new recruits.

Rich old White men getting rich off of 18, 19, 20 year olds blood. I'm a 3 tour combat vet of Iraq. I loved hearing Haliburton employees screaming over the radio for help🤣🤣😍

What are the chances that all these private companies (with ties and bribes in washstinkton) just happens to have all the right equipment in place 🤫🤔.

Cheney and company should be on trial for war crimes. Disgusting.
