And just to re-emphasize what i said earlier. There is no doubt that this video was made as propoganda. All I am stating is that the info in the video, the fraud, waste, and abuse, IS real! The $$ figures in teh video I think might be a little inflated, but again, the fraud IS real!!!

Terry, as far as the food goes, it really depends on where you go. i see people all the time getting sick from the food. Nothing too serious, but sick none the less. LOTS of fried foods and lots of stuff that looks like it was already eaten once that gets put on rice. The flies are bad, and I don't think I would even wan tto eat ever if I seen the storage area because they surely have maggots. Not to mention the porta johns are only 20 ft from the dining facility, so who knows what these flies have on them. One of the guys I work with got an infection in his eye which the doctors determined is a form of herpes. He is an older retired navy guy with a wife and kids at home and could potentially lose an eye before it's all over. The doctor told him it was likely caused by a fly.

The biggest part about teh video that got me was the water. The guy talking about it was a water tester over here for KBR. he says that of the 67 water purification sites he tested, 63 tested bad! He was in tears talking about how he tested water that had NO chlorine content at all! That OUR troops were bathing in water that likely had harmful bacteria in it!

Like you said Terry, probably not much worse than any other war!
