What happens to corporations when countries go to war and people lose their lives? They make money. At least that's what happened during the Iraq war.While the American soldiers were putting their lives at stake at one command of their president, the American corporations were busy trying to draw every single penny out of the government.
Companies like Halliburton, CACI and Titan managed to draw millions of dollars out of the government for the mediocre service that the provided, while the American soldiers lived in a miserable condition wihtout proper food or water.
As one soldier describes the situation, the companies who catered food were paid a lot of money but the food was only served once a day.
A memebr of one of the companies confessed that the water that was provided to the soldiers was contaminated and if the soldiers didn't die of the enemies bullet, they would have died by drinking the water.
The companies made a lot of money. What's worse is vice president Dick Cheneyused to be int he board of Halliburton and it's belived that he had a great conflict of interest in giving Halliburton the contract.
