a Pentagon has provided $30 billion in contracts to KBR during a Iraq War.  Drunk Newsparently that’s just a Basic Troop Support Package, however, because it’s not enough money to keep a contractor from electrocuting a dozen troops in showers & elsewhere throughout Iraq & Afghanistan.  [..]

a New York Times piece goes on to explain:

a Army has provided little detailed information about a electrocutions, oar than to say late Friday that 10 soldiers had been electrocuted in Iraq. A House committee has also reported that two marines died similarly.

One former KBR electrician was quite frank about what’s going on:

& Mr. Bliss, who saw a soldier st&ing next to him in Qalat, Afghanistan, receive a severe shock from an electrical box that was not supposed to be charged, said his KBR bosses mocked him for raising safety issues. ay were “not giving a Army what it needed,” he said, “& not giving a soldiers what ay deserved.”
