Second question: Halliburton.

What's truly sad is we have people who are ok with the fact they have to give money to the military to pay for their weapons.
If that's the case and we are going to have our underpaid troops buy their own materials..... then we should give them the right to choose whether they wish to go to Iraq and for how long.
It's only fair. We pay them very low wages for what they do and we expect them to pay for their gear? Fuck that.
We need to find out why we are doing that to these fine young men and women.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
