Scary stuff on how US corporations are profitting from the war.
For example Haliburton charging $45 for a 6-pack of Coke, $99 to do a crappy job of washing a bag of laundry, $7,000 a month to lease an SUV!!!!
All these stories are making us look like saints in Vietnam.

You very wrongly assume that the only cost in that six-pack of Coke is the cost of the six-pack itself.
1) What if every 10th six-pack gets blown up in the supply convoy?
2) You do have to pay people more than minimum wage to get them to go to a war zone to work.
3) What is the cost of moving that pack of Coke from a loading dock in Texas to Iraq?
