The polls and military uniforms
*“If you follow these polls closely, it almost seems they cycle party ID regularly, as if on a whim or schedule.”
This quote is from a diary on Dkos titled “Busted!: Gallup, CBS, USA.Today, etc. Tinkers With Party ID Again.” It has inspired me thus in the area of lies and greed and I somehow find a relationship with poll numbers:
Everytime I see an American soldier fighting in the war either in Iraq or Afghanistan, with ghoulish observation I see multiple price tags on him. Further and with even more ghoulish interest, I wonder about private contractors pasting bar codes on their products financially profiting from his uniform from top to bottom and also underneath.
I wonder regarding the law made and who got the contract to make his underwear. Was making his t-shirt under a separate contract? Does he also have a protective gear for his gentiles? Contracts for his socks and shoes? Shoe laces, buttons and sewing thread? Those contracts alone have to be lucrative when you compare what you may logically suspect the cost of the underwear, shoes and socks of “the enemy”. (Smile)
Going forward to the soldier’s outerwear, there is the clothing proper; there is the gun, bullet belt, water canteen and helmet. I wonder about the contractors and sub-contractors and the salaries of the CEO’s of the companies supplying those features of the official uniform. I saw a few months ago the introduction of night goggles with the every soldier “must have” rhetoric. The newest cottage industry? I wondered about the law passed and the contractors and sub-contractors involved with the added equipment. There is a shoulder microphone I see some soldiers wearing and I am sure the list goes on. Our soldiers look so bulky; so weighted down.
What gets me is when the “enemy” jumps out from behind a building with his gun or rocket launcher, he can fire his arm and run away like hell seeking shelter at best leaving a sandal at the scene.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help and The National Enquirer,
BB
P.S.
I am mindful of soldiers writing home for family members to send subliminal equipment.
