Where is the $3 TRILLION, General?
"Panel Faults Army’s Wartime Contracting" by ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 — An independent panel has sharply criticized the Army for failing to train enough experienced contracting officers, deploy them quickly to war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan and ensure that they properly manage billions of dollars in contracts to supply American troops in the field, according to officials briefed on its findings.
The six-member panel, appointed in August by Army Secretary Pete Geren, levels a stinging indictment of how the Army oversees $4 billion a year in contracts for food, water, shelter and other supplies to sustain United States forces in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. The panel also blames senior Army leaders for not responding more swiftly to the problems, despite warning signs like severe shortages of contracting officers in the field. “The Iraq-Kuwait-Afghanistan contracting problems have created a crisis for a military that is increasingly conducting combat and stability operations around the globe,” the report states.
All this fucking money STOLEN while Americans suffer at home!
FUCK this asshole and his FUCKING WARS!!!
The panel argues that the procurement corps, now dominated by civilians who balk at being sent to a war zone, must be trained to be an expeditionary force, just as Army combat forces train to deploy quickly for yearlong tours to Iraq.
Oh, another EXPEDITION to Iraq, huh? I saw that term earlier today!
Yup, Iraq is ONE BIG ADVENTURE!!
So when is Congress, the MSM, and the fucking chickenhawks in this administration gonna SUIT UP and SERVE?!?!
WHEN THE FUCK YOU GUYS OUTTIN' ON a UNI if it is so damn important, you LYING SHITFUCKS!!!!!!!!?
Senior Army officials say the report’s “blunt, candid” language, as one put it, underscores the seriousness of the problem at a time when the Pentagon is increasingly reliant on contractors to wash laundry, prepare meals, stand sentry, provide armed security and do myriad other jobs.
While the report’s findings and recommendations focus on the Army, today’s military services operate jointly on battlefield, so the report’s impact will probably be felt across the armed forces.
“It’s absolutely true that the institution has to adapt,” said a senior Army official, who was not authorized to speak publicly before the report’s release. “How does this institution support an expeditionary army at war?”
Yup, the WARS are all a BIG ADVENTURE!!! Like a SAFARI!!!
Fucking WAKE the FUCK UP, America, and IMPEACH and CONVICT THIS GOVERNMENT!!!!
Otherwise, EAT YOUR WAR DEAD while yo FREEZE, SUFFER and STARVE!!!!
FUCKING IMPEACH and CONVICT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
