/all of the ships in Philly were mothballed while I was there. we holed up in the civilian yards in Chester. I heard a rumor that the Philly yards were coming back though.
I am keeping my side of the discussion relative to personal experience. I had nothing to do with the kinds of jobs Haliburton does/did. I may have worked along side Haliburton people, I just don't remember.
Civilian contractors were very common when I was in. The ones that I remember were locals (if we were out of country).
I spent a majority of my time during Gulf I in general quarters in a combat zone. I honestly don't remember much along the lines of civilians. The civilians seem to come later during Operation Provide Promise (what stupid names we use(d)).
Anyway,my point was that I am trying to clarify that my opnion is based on my personal experience. I don't know enough about the article/book/author to comment, I am not there.
