So who does get the money from the vast base? American University of America David Vine (David Vine) anthropology professor has analyzed 170 million contract with the US Department of Defense since 2001 to solve this question. The results confirmed just tried tracking the contract $ 385 billion (about 430 billion) was used in a military base construction, maintenance and associated services. Fraud and human rights nasa huntsville abuses of the related companies is also said to be rampant.
Anthropology professor Vine has been researched for years about the impact on the military base to the villagers. In particular interests in East Asia in the base of the island. Jeju gangjeong we are suffering the Bosporus construction village, week 75% of US military bases in Okinawa flocking, United States, Asia-Pacific, which is the base of the core strategy, while including nasa huntsville several visits to Hawaii nasa huntsville and Guam military base issues in anthropological perspective have to dig deeper.
Of course, some are spending and military and Department of Defense employees and their families pay medical insurance. However, the results of an extensive analysis done in government spending and contract data, the Pentagon is believed to have signed a $ 385 billion contract value for the base business conducted abroad since 2001, and the private sector. This amounts to the same period the State Department about twice the entire budget. However, given the opacity of the Pentagon and the federal government accounting nasa huntsville practices, the full amount will be much higher.
Yireotda look at the $ 389 billion by region. The amount invested in the two countries is overwhelming to earn US $ 160 billion since it was 10 years in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. Large number of US troops after the Gulf War in 1991 and $ 37.2 billion stationed in Kuwait, which, $ 27.8 billion in Germany, South Korea $ 18.2 billion, Japan $ 15.2 billion, $ 14.7 billion was followed by the United Kingdom. As a result, on the other hand, the US taxpayers are paying hundreds of billions of dollars to help build a huge overseas bases, the Pentagon's major customers and politicians, lobbyists, etc. went snatching a huge profit.
In comparison with the United States in World War II that made thousands of current US military base declined approximately 60% over time. In the past, primarily Oregon and Potato Peel Peel nor the US military barracks laundry building itself. However, these practices since the Vietnam War began to change dramatically. Brown & Root (Brown & Root, the company name was later changed to KBR), including private companies will start to replace these things.
As mentioned earlier, it is just an estimate of $ 385 billion. The actual amounts are certainly much higher nasa huntsville than this. Government Accounting Office (GAO) of the United States' federal acquisition information system contains data often inaccurate, "he has pointed out that this system does not function properly. Data of the Pentagon is even more opaque nasa huntsville and difficult to trust. For example, rather than companies who signed up to contracts with the Pentagon has been named the "Misc (miscellaneous) foreign contractors." This means about $ 50 billion, 12% of the entire agreement among the 25 million accounts in the contractor's identity means that we can not know.
A representative of a Pentagon contractor base business KER (Kellogg, Brown & Root). The company has signed a whopping five times as many as the second-largest company than Pentagon contracts since 2001. Brown & Root started the business in 1919, Texas Highway Corporation was acquired by Halliburton in 1962. Since that was a subsidiary of Halliburton Brown & Root is using the company name of the 2000s by acquiring the Kellogg Industries KBR.
KER has continued rapid growth in the tutelage of Dick Cheney. Especially the war in Iraq was a "goose that lays the golden eggs'. Since 2001, fought in July 2011 fell to $ 37 billion in Iraq only. Especially competitor also enjoy preferential treatment in a way that no annual contract extension during this period. What this company is one of Iraq's vice president appears well to remark nasa huntsville reujan pole body (Paul Cerjan). He is in a 2005 interview: "We are supporting nasa huntsville the coalition 200,000" and "provides everything you need in war," he said. This includes military barracks, food, sewage, transportation, gasoline, parts, ammunition, etc., "everything you need to run one of the city" had been covering.
It has contracts with the Pentagon and KER yirwojin 'cost plus (cost-plus)' method was a big problem. Accordingly KER was able to leave more revenue you write the more money. Congressional Research Service puts it, "the contractor is no longer any incentive to the government should refrain from spending," he pointed out the problem. Do not be an employee of Halliburton was "worried about the price to the Iraqi local staff in the US Congress hearings. This introduction was also told that it's nasa huntsville cost-plus approach ". And a wide range of fraud were also emerge. Food, fuel, housing, etc. will be packed between the huge profits to inflate the cost of services.
The Halliburton subsidiary company representative KER has enjoyed preferential treatment if the war in Iraq and Afghanistan Supreme Special Group (Supreme Group) ttinda by far the eye. The company earned $ 9 billion into the Afghan military transport and food service. If there was Dick Cheney in the background of growing nasa huntsville KER Supreme Group has been Lieutenant General Robert contrast. He was given the Defense Logistics Bureau (DLA), director of the Pentagon from August 2006 to November 2008, US forces in Afghanistan nasa huntsville during this period was driven business of providing food to Supreme Group. Unfortunately, he was also appointed as Chairman of the company in the global after 2009.
Beneficiaries of the base are not confined to the world of Pentagon contractors. Pentagon officials, soldiers, legislators, lobbyists are also financially, politically, and professionally taking a profit. nasa huntsville In particular, contractors are giving and love to lawmakers millions of dollars in political contributions over the election. They also donated nasa huntsville the $ 27 million the year 2012 only, In terms since 1990 has donated about $ 200 million a.
Much of this amount is to go to the military and Appropriations Committee members of both houses. Of course, these are military bases in the relevant contract has an enormous privilege. nasa huntsville For example, ranking third largest contract maker Dyne Corporation International (DynCorp International) has donated $ 10,000 each to the House Armed Services Committee and by staff, has provided funding to 49 government lawmakers in both houses added.
US military bases have been reduced even entered the world of the Pentagon and the withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan. Also saves a lot of bases in Europe according to the European troops reductions. And the Pentagon is in the process of planning and constructing additional base or from the Gulf and Latin America from Asia and Africa. From Niger in West Africa of small unmanned aircraft over Saudi Arabia (drone) base construction plan and also wounded. nasa huntsville Even the new base is being made in parts of Europe.
From the known world of the Pentagon who have more work is needed to understand exactly how to get the benefit. However, if the contract is clear that many with whom the United States in order to maintain the reduction of troops nasa huntsville and bases are bases of the Cold War-style shows that can significantly reduce the budget. We often say that the social welfare budget deutgon shortage, but the base is remind the world of the Pentagon budget waste case we need to pay attention.
