Halliburton has delayed building the concrete mess hall because of employee safety.

Had this function not been privatized, soldiers would have built it, and contrary to delaying the building because of concern for their safety, they would have expedited building.

So, why is the rocket now a bomb exploded within the mess tent?

When a bomb explodes inside a concrete room, the pressure is contained within the room, and causes more damage.

If a bomb explodes inside a tent, it will blow out the walls of the tent, and much of the force will be dissipated outward.

Example from the past: When Hitler was bombed, it was in a temporary shelter, and his arm was damaged. Had it been in their usual meeting place, he likely would have been dead.

I think they are calling it a bomb so that people will not criticize Halliburton for not having finished the concrete mess hall.
