Most Anticipated Movies Coming in Watch the video. Many of the hired were unqualified. There was no clear answer that he provided and basically laughs about it. It is true that most of the investigators were retired high ranking officials. Military personal and high ranking government officials were all involved in this. A powerful combination which created a strong relationship between officials was occurring.
KBR contractors started working for the military and trained by the military for many purposes like fixing radios and hardware and all kinds of other work as well. Delivering supplies in trucks, building housing, logistics, and mechanics were just a few of their duties. Most of the truck drivers were driven by Pakistani, Nepali or other drivers from near by countries. Hundreds of them were delivering supplies to the US military. There was however plenty of US civilians driving the trucks.
Hired by the KBR they were promised good pay. He saw the opportunity to make significantly more money for his family by working overseas so he took the chance. This company is a fortune company so people felt protected working for them. Trucks were dressed in camouflage coats and send on their way to red zones. This company had a contract with the army and provided them with millions of dollars in revenue.
The human lives seemed to be irrelevant to the CEOS of those companies because there were multi millionaires. Simply the profit seemed more important then the lives of all the man that die. His company was supposed to provide clean water for the military. He discovered there was no chlorine in the water and after further testing he found out that the water was very contaminated.
Malaria Taigas and many other diseases were found. This company was so careless that they exposed our military to contaminated water. It was a serious health risk that our military faced. Carter brakes down in tears during this documentary because he remembers how this company did not care about the consequences. There were a lot of soldiers that came back severely sick and contaminated because of Halliburton.
KBR is a company that was hired to clean the water for our troops. Ben Carter was formal water Purification Specialist who experienced first hand what was happing overseas. One of its employees actually had seen bacteria wiggling in the water. When Ben Carter went to test the water he found that it was severely contaminated with visible bacteria moving.
Our troops were coming back sick with malaria. There were showering with contaminated water with many harmful bacteria simply because Halliburton did not put chlorine in the water. Soldiers were faced with series health risk simply because certain individuals in this company wanted to make huge profits.
Carter brakes down during the documentary because he knows this could have been easily prevented. A good point he made was that our soldiers would never if they might me contaminated because Halliburton is sure not going to tell them. Their commercial hover shows us how wonderful and carrying they are towards our troop.
Good food, great care, taking care of our troops is just some of the slogan words they provide. Halliburton managers were buying 50, thousand vehicles for their enjoyment in Kuwait Iraq for Sale n. Why do they need Cadillac escalades? These guys did not care about using their money wisely. If something ever happen to the vehicle they just burn it and claim it as a loss and simply get another one. Millions of dollars where spend for unnecessary.
Eighty thousand dollar trucks were being burned simply because they had flat tire. Several times equipment was burned to the ground only because it had a mechanical problem. We are paying contractors at prices far higher than what it costs us for the same thing. For example, buying new trucks every time one of them gets a minor maintenance problem. Still another example of abuse, is that one of the contractors is supplying water to our troops that contains diseases in it for people to shower in.
Also, it shows in detail how we paid to torture war prisoners. Another shocking detail was how the contractors did not get the proper equipment to protect themselves.
Additionally, the contract workers were saying in 5-star hotels at night, while our troops were getting tents. What is even more shocking is the connections these companies have with officials, and how contracts to them were awarded without taking bids. Our country needs to stand up, and hold our people in the white house, congress, the justice department, and our military accountable for these actions.
We have spent almost a half a trillion dollars on the Iraq War now, and billions of it were wasted in this abuse of our money by these private contractors. Thanks to Robert Greenwald for getting out the truth to the American public again!!!!!
