Halliburton/Kellog were awarded jobs in both iraq wars, bosnia (clinton) vietnam without bidding. I would not have worked on the projects along with the rest of the civilians if halliburton would not have been "GIVEN" them. REAL multi-phase projects require surface, route , feasibility, geological, envrionmental SURVEYS that take 2 to 5 years. After a war, the project starts NOW. The company handling the project receives data such as troop locations, equipment depots, mine field locations, locations for training, air strips, etc. You can NOT turn that data over to a company like Technip. Regarding profiteering ? probably. Same thing happend in Bosnia - Clinton era....and do not forget the 7 billion dollar deal Clinton made between the saudis and boeing but I never hear anything about that...then you have LBJ who owned 55 percent of colt fire arms...they built parts for small arms used in Vietnam...

Not trying to be cavalier but I will answer your question this way. "Such as it has been, it shall always be". Is it right? No. But that seems to be the new golden rule. He who has the gold, makes the rules. Answer to this? Class warfare? I don't think so. Don't have a solution. :(

It seems that corporations, like individuals have security clearance. If all war time contracts had to go through the bidding process, there would be even more failure and wasted time and money. Look at government highway work!

I felt it was part of the industrial/military complex, they built it, the army blows it up, they rebuilt it
