A surge in troops is also going to create in support services, which is what halliburton (poorly) supplied.

The draw down, combined with them serving the troops contaminated water and getting several electrocuted in the shower due to their shoddy workmanship has lead to halliburton being fined hundreds of millions…

GJDailleult,

beezlebub could also have added that each mercenary, sorry "contractor", is paid a salary far higher than that of US military personnel, and that they are usually ex-US military, meaning the US taxpayer has paid for their training. Great value for the money!!!!

USARonin,

I'm very aware of the difference between literal and figurative. I do think that mr. rommell was joking but, much like pedophilia and sex slavery, I don't find the subject of shooting the president, regardless of who he is (have to put that disclaimer in these days), to be…

Here's another example of those republican jokesters:
