11. They did it the first year they were in office. Nice and quietly.

They outsourcced everything - food, water, tents, etc. The military people were pissed. This does several things - more soldiers for shooting and not cooking; more money to Haliburton; more money donated to the repub party.

Several journalists think that because Haliburton (KBR) didn't do a good job of getting food and water to the troops, several of them died of dehydration. Then a couple of weeks ago it was reported that some of the water was contaminated and the food rotten. Yeah, the repubs really know how to support the troops.
