10. My husband saw Contractor Fraud Waste and Abuse in Iraq BigTime!

When I was a kid and my family was stationed in Germany, they had a commercial on AFN-TV about Fraud Waste and Abuse and how when you take Government property it was stealing taxpayers' dollars. Every pen, every pencil, anything you take home from your office the commercial said. I laugh at that now with the rampant FW&A going on in the military.

I've told the story on DU before of my husband who had to move from one FoB to another in Iraq and while waiting for the helicopter to take off watched 3 contractors gas it up; one to open the tank, one to put the nozzle in the tank opening and one to open the fuel valve to start it up. Last time I checked we have servicemembers who have been trained in those tasks. His own MoS while there was overshadowed by the contractors; they did the work and my husband and his troops were to watch and never have contact with them. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (in my opinion) paid out more than twice what it should have with the doubling up of contractor to military jobs and then the pay they received being 2 - 3 times what the military earned.
