2. Welcome, twylatharp
Nice to have you here. :hi: I'll recomend it for you. And yes, this just infuriates me too.

Take the profit out of war, and we wouldn't go to war nearly as often. I don't know how these people live with themselves. It makes me sick.

6. Thanks, I think this is so important
They use OUR money to finance their investment of death and destruction, which is quite profitable, especially since the Pentagon gives the contractors our tax dollars directly, they don't even have to use their own money, just rake it in. War profiteers are the ultimate welfare recipients, but instead of condemnation they earn respect.

4. Iraq For Sale
"The story of what happens to everyday Americans when corporations go to war.
Acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, and Uncovered) takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows and children who have been changed forever as a result of profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. Iraq for Sale uncovers the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow them to do so."
