Did you see Lou Dobbs last night? Very shocking reality check about our government?
Last night on Lou Dobbs I learned that *One American soldier gets electrocuted every three days in Iraq and in Afghanistan just b/c the government contracted electrical work to a company that doesn’t do their job they way they should and b/c they say those countries have different standers then we do here in the US therefore they do not have to do things in the same manner, poor soldiers are taking a shower only for it to be their last while they are in another country fighting for us and working for our government! The company feels that they are not at fault, is the government at fault.?. Who is at fault here someone is and it should be the contractor and when will they fix the problem so that this is no longer a problem? Why do our soldiers have to die of this cause? Like their lives aren’t threatened enough as it is! This is so uncalled for and there doesn’t seem to be much action being taken – This makes me angry!!! I am so beside myself to think that this even happened to begin with and that it is still continuing and that the government hasn’t already put a stop to this – Are people loosing their lives b/c the government doesn’t want to fire that company and hire one that will make sure the job is done right and be sure that this never happens again? Why hasn’t that Company already been fired and what happened to our own military electricians???? I am so confused and out-raged!!! This doesn’t bother you? Aren’t your family members and friends in the military?

Contractors put in a bid and the government will hire the lowest bidder.
So not only can one expect cheap labor, but also shoddy work.
Here in the states there are insulators and regulators on high voltage circuitry.
Over there, they may not have anything like that.
Being former military, the government would always hire in contractors to do the work we were trained to do.
Not sure if it had anything to do with stepping on the toes of unions or not, but that’s how they’ve always worked.
