american contractors in afghanistan are ballin

is there any truth to the rumor i heard that if you do die than you get nothing.

It depends who you work for and what your contract stipulates. Life Insurance most of the time excludes acts of war as well. I definitely would not count on it. Why would they pay for services un-rendered? That would not meet the corporatist protections of a binding contract.

theres no need to pay $500 for a regular everyday ladder when the military can get 10 at home depot for the same price

While I agree with you, that would go against the foundations of capitalism and the so called free market system if contractors were not able to mark up the tangible assets they sell. Ridiculous? Yes. Unfair to the taxpayers? Absolutely. It is common practice to see at least a 400% markup.

its the american way

contractors get rich while the taxpayer continues to get ripped off
