A well written book exposing the fallacious argument that outsourcing will save money. In the case of the Iraq War started by Bush 43 and initially run by Donald Rumsfeld it enriched the coffers of Halliburton's subsidiary KBR among other bandits. (Remember Chaney was head of Halliburton before becoming VP, also note that the contract for Halliburton to 'provide support' for the troops was sole-source. The book has made me angry, wanting to see people punished at the highest levels. After recently reading Veterans Under Siege I am doubly incensed. KBR did not supply the goods to the service personnel in the field, only at some of the major bases. The fraudulent charges and lack of contract performance likely caused death, injury and illnesses among the American service personnel they were supposed to be working for. There actions and inaction exposed service personnel to toxins and biological contaminants unnecessarily and some of the effects, like those of agent orange did not show up until years have passed. An expense that the veterans will have to pay until they can convince the VA of the service connection, if they survive that long. And then it is an expense to the taxpayer, not the company that caused it.
Perhaps most egregious was the threat of not doing any work if the Army did not pay KBR for undocumented expenses.
