An Armadillo looks at the " Haliburton Cheney Corporate Army
Someone should take issue with and research this tax dollar give away for a 15,000 private security force which makes it the second largest group of armed men in Iraq.

This is certainly a strong attack point of the greed of the Halliburton corporation and this administration for insulting and creating a moral problem in the folks that are putting there life on the line for peanuts when you see them along side the private security guard $500.00 a day folks.

Lets do a little math here, if one man gets $500.00 a day x 7 days that equals $15,000.00 a week and 4 times that equals $60,000.00 a month with 12 x being $960,000.00 a year that's pretty great especially when compared with an Army PFC. or Corporal getting 10.00 to $30.00 a day at best $210.00 a week.

Just think if 5 private security guards around a VIP costs $4,800,00.00 a year plus they have special bulletproof SUVs, now that's a chunk of change that could be used for some stupid thing like the welfare of our children's education. Or balance the national debt or recruit more in the military?

There is also another problem building here and that is it takes about $250,00.00 to train someone in the “special forces,” but now as soon as their enlistment is up they hire themselves out as mercenary's to these corporate security companies and low and behold we train them with tax dollars and then the company's get them.

I wonder what a MP feels or for that matters any service person that puts his life on the line for the honor of being a defender of the citizens?

This is just a little armadillo thought from the underground in buddy Holly town of Lubbock, Texas
