Okay here’s another history lesson for you. Shock and awe happened then the invasion. Saddam toppled. Thousands of civilians military aged and educated are now unemployed. Oh instead of hiring the local populace to fix roads and sewers etc. Let’s instead hire outside contractors on the US dollar. Said contractors submitted no bid contracts so they can charge the us tax payer as much as they want. Business get rich and contractors get a good wage but what about all those young men now unemployed I wonder what they are gonna do…..

Maybe they should have listened to me, because I'm one of them and it's worked out quite well.
