War Profits Reflect Current Day Republican Morals

”In e-mails to his family, Westhusing seemed especially upset by one conclusion he had reached: that traditional military values such as duty, honor and country had been replaced by profit motives in Iraq, where the U.S. had come to rely heavily on contractors for jobs once done by the military.”

Quote from Col Ted Westhusing, a West Point scholar, in a suicide note to his superiors.

The current administration outsources mercenaries and support jobs. Workers paid minimum amount, and the Republican friendly company wins the profit. They do this in a war zone, and they do it in the military hospitals.

"Westhusing was an unusual case: “one of the Army's leading scholars of military ethics, a full professor at West Point who volunteered to serve in Iraq to be able to better teach his students. He had a doctorate in philosophy; his dissertation was an extended meditation on the meaning of honor,” Miller explained in his L.A. Times piece."
