I have created a blog for the express purpose of documenting the progress of my papers for english class. Herein you shall read of the privatization of our military and defense research. Most behind the scenes work for the US armed forces is now by private contractors. These things include supplying food, base housing, and parts management.
I choose this topic because as a soldier in the Army, I will have to deal with these people quite regularly. And if I climb the ranks to the level of working in the Pentagon, I may one day be choosing which companies to award contracts to. And it is tax dollars being spent to pay these companies, so I think we all can learn a little bit more about where our money is going..
Let the work begin,
Russell K
