"The accidental deaths and close calls, which are being investigated by Congress and the Defense Department’s inspector general, raise new questions about the oversight of contractors in the war zone, where unjustified killings by security guards, shoddy reconstruction projects and fraud involving military supplies have spurred previous inquiries."
Contractors have no "oversight" stateside or overseas.

Exactly. Hell, these guys get big bucks, at least we should get decent workmanship.

The average American tax payer would be appalled. It wouldn't be tolerated if renovations were being done on private businesses or residental homes.

I'm sure. "Support our Troops", we can't even keep them safe in the shower.

That's not the way it works even at home. Nepotism will kick craftsmanship's ass every time.

That is true. Sad that troops fighting for us are treated like this.

I agree, they do deserve better, both while enlisted and when their back to their civilian status. It's a crying shame that the troops need to suffer from partisan politics. Afterall, if it wasn't for the fighting men and women of this great country, none of these jokers would be where they are.
