9. For Profit War Making
The outrage should be leveled not at the workers but at the companies that employ them. It would be more economical to accomplish the tasks with soldiers, but that doesn't help the companies for whom this war was designed to generate profit.

Outsourcing in the military is the reason that it takes twice as long for my friends in Iraq to get mail than it did for my father in Vietnam 35 years ago. No one cares about efficiency, only profit.
