Reply #39: No, civil servants don't put the money in the private pockets. [View All]

And civil servants are subject to public/federal scrutiny.

Just as the DOD and this admin does today, casulaties aren't considered part of the effort, lost equipment and wounded aren't in the DOD stats. Then there is the matter of responsibility and hiring non-Americans with special skills. "Civil Corpsmen" can torture, kill, plunder and corrupt and the DOD/government can't be held responsible.

The oil interests are protected by civilians not subject to the "rules of law" the military is subject to, "their losses" are not "our losses" and the private corporations that employ the "civilian corps members", the corporate heads and boards and stock holders see the profits. And the oil companies don't have to worry about paying to secure their interests, the USA does it.

It's a win/win all the way around.
