The War Profiteers the article spoke about are the corporations that make up the military industrial complex. Something that Ike warned us about in the 1950's. Corporations and corrupt government officials that hide behind patriotism and propaganda, mostly concerned with their own agenda, making money. In brotherhood, Hallslug Mark,

Your right no disrespect was intended for you or anyone else serving overseas. The War Profiteers the article spoke about are the corporations that make up the military industrial complex. Something that Ike warned us about in the 1950′s.

Corporations and corrupt government officials that hide behind patriotism and propaganda, mostly concerned with their own agenda, making money.

Noticed both messages came from the same IP and email address. I didn't delete your reply it's still there. Although I may disagree with you on some of the issues, I respect your opinion. My opinion is that health care in this country should be a right, not a privilege. The insurance companies are making billions while regular hard working Americans are going without health care. We simply can't afford to continue on the path we are currently on. Everyone in our country deserves health care and shouldn't have to worry about going bankrupt trying to pay for it, or having to choose between medical care and buying groceries or paying rent.

I don't want the government controlling anything with my health care . They have screwed up evry single thing they have ever gotten their hands on . Do you want your health care to work like the public school system ? They spend three times the amount of our tax dollars per student , to do less than half as good a job . Do you want the " elected Vampires " sucking all of your money dry with all of their pet projects and pork barrel spending before you even get a chance to see a doctor ? I think not ! No . I'll take my chances with capitalism , thank you . As long as they are Americans making money on wall street , and hiring Americans , I'll stick with good old American capitalism . If you want commie health care , then I suggest you start a union in Cuba . I am a union brother also . I don’t want the government controlling anything with my health care .

I do not expect to be given a "stimulus" job that is paid for by my neighbor's children and grandchildren. My healthcare is part of my negotiated package, want the same, join a union. I hope when you look at those who put themselves in harm's way you will think about why we are here doing what used to be standard MOS positions, do you know why? To look it up start with William Cohen, LOGCAP One, or Kosovo. I am certain your article meant no disrespect. But it hit a nerve with a Brother on the ground doing the job I was hired to do for the pay they offered. 7/12's for 7/12's, just like home. A Brother In The Sand!
