Just read it Adam. I wish there were more sources named because I can tell you for a fact that a
lot of it is wrong. There is a lot that is right also. We deployed a ton of the security and
support for Bosnia through Ramstein AB and Kaiserslautern. We had several tranportation units
hauling ammo for both the army and af in both Bosnia and the gulf. We weren't there during the gulf
but a lot of the drivers were. They did work on the aircraft systems when the military guys
couldn't get them to work. DynCorps guys role is overstated, there were always a bunch around
acting as consultants. Mostly they sat in thier Air Conditioned trailers and drank coffee. They
very well could have taken over day to day policing now. We DO NOT have the military people to do
it. We are stretched so thin it is incredible. We still have troops stuck in Haiti if anyone
remembers that. Same for Columbia. The other problem in Columbia is that we do not have the
aircraft in service for the job. (Not even discussing if we should be doing it in the first place)
The AF has kept moving to high tech, high dollar aircraft which are not suited to a lot of roles
that they wish would just go away. They have been trying to replace the A-10, and C-130 forever
now. The problem is that thier solutions cost more all around and have been less reliable. The
truth about the actual condition of the military and what the pinheads in the Pentagon are doing is
ugly at best. The problem is no-one in official positions is going to tell you the truth. It's
against policy. This privatization scheme is nothing but ripping off taxpayers and funneling the
money to thier friends. I haven't talked to anyone who actually depends on these services, or
provides them that thinks this is a good idea. I can see the Pentagon overstating, and creating
false leaks that DynCorp is doing all this. The reasoning would be to claim that they were already
doing this much and it's working so now we can privatize the rest. As for the rent a cop security
our military uses, it's a joke. I'd really like to see someone dig into and expose all this ****
but I'm not going to hold my breathe. Bill C
