The reason you guys are losing is because its NOT about the man next to you but about the cause you are fighting for. Are you not embarrassed that with all your guns and technology you guys take decades to fight people with the most basic weapons? I'd be embarrassed of every single guy around me while I was fighting if I was was you!
Dynamo I'm just stating my point too. Thanks for bringing out the personal attacks, it makes me know that I've won the argument. Good night!

I wouldn't say they've lost in Afghanistan/Iraq at all... Win/lose isn't as clearly defined as one side waving the white flag and tapping out.

Note that the number 1 on the list Kellogg Brown & Root is a subsidiary of Halliburton. Hell, That list is 6 years behind the times now. Those seem like losing numbers to you? I guess determining the win/lose status depends entirely on what the addresor's original intent was...
Just for shits and giggles, look over the top 10 in that list on awarded contracts and compare them with this one regarding contractor campaign contributions in the 12 years leading up to 2002, the beginning of the contract list...

Recognize any names there? 4 of the top 10 contributors can be found in the list of 10 largest Afghan/Iraq contracts awarded since 2002. Parsons, Fluor, and KBR, the top 3 largest contract holders between 2002-2004 were in the top 10 campaign contributors in the decade leading up to those years. Coincidence? |
