And yet this tax dollar funded "private" company is living high off the hog.

I am against the MIC and always will be especially when our country needs to be rebuilt and there seems to no money for that yet plenty for this.

Privatized military and military services are dangerous and detrimental to our society and the world. War for profit is a terrible incentive and hard to contain as it grows out of control.

Get it?
