How are you qualified to make that generalization? How the fuck do you know what companies not given a chance would or wouldn't do?

Historically I think you can look at the system over the years, and I mean 20 or so, and judge the way this situation got to where it is now, meaning that how did one company so totally domintate this market.

I suggest you ask Ike.

Well guess what, when troops need support neither I or anyone else really gives a crap about how or where it comes from, as long is it is there when you need it and on time in running order. After that it just doesn't matter who is doing the supplying. Understand?

The problem is not the troops getting supplied, it's the taxpayers getting fucked. Overcharging on no-bid contracts, and charging for supplies and services not delivered. Understand?
