These private companies lobby in Washington to provide services to the military. In short, they're 3rd party con artists who overcharge govt/taxpayers for sub-par work performance (food,water). The hundreds of years the military has done this work for themselves with great success and at less costs to the taxpayer & they gain experience in the process. A case can be made that the govt can create a division of the military that employs former military personnel to do this work & it would STILL be at less cost than these private companies charge. Paying the private companies to do it has ballooned the military/defense budget to an enormous size. Even after leaving Iraq & winding down Afghanistan soon. Reduce these contracts and give the work to former military soldiers/personnel w/good pay.
