In reply to the discussion: New evidence that US Army deliberately targeted hospital in Kunduz [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)where she was embedded to interview some of our military commanders there. She said in her report that the U.S. has 30,000 independent Military Contractors in Afghanistan.
30,000 Military Contractors! I don't recall hearing anything about that high number of contractors there...while the MIC/MS Media argue over whether Obama should have 5,000 or 10,000 U.S."Boots on the Ground" (meaning real U.S. Troops in uniform) we already have 30,000 people there doing who knows what!
How the hell do we know what the truth of anything is these days? Is it possible that Military Contractors are embedded with our troops in uniform and maybe they are in calling the shots as to who we target? Those Contractors are not responsible to any code of ethics our regular soldiers have to fight under. And, who knows whether they are doing rogue operations or not but given that high number of contractors one would think there could be some major mistakes being made. Is it possible that one of them called this operation on the hospital?
Don't we as citizens have the right to know who we are paying to fight our wars?
