Simply put, you can't court martial civilians. We've had some previous discussion of the problems with Bechtel - and now Halliburton is reportedly falling short in its performance of duties historically performed by members of the active service:
The Pentagon repeatedly warned contractor Halliburton-KBR that the food it served to US troops in Iraq was "dirty," as were as the kitchens it was served in, NBC News reported on Friday.
Halliburton-Kellogg Brown and Root's promises to improve "have not been followed through," according to a Pentagon report that warned "serious repercussions may result" if the contractor did not clean up.
The Pentagon reported finding "blood all over the floor," "dirty pans," "dirty grills," "dirty salad bars" and "rotting meats ... and vegetables" in four of the military messes the company operates in Iraq, NBC said, citing Pentagon documents.
Our troops deserve better - and if the kitchens were being operated by the military instead of by a private company they would already have it.
