What may be impressive to the civilian might be considered to be folly by the professional soldier.
These companies operate for one reason, massive profit. While some of the employees might be red blooded Americans the owners see only green. They started as a good idea and quickly grew into worthless empires, worthless as many are corrupt beyond imagination;

US military contractor hit with new lawsuit alleging Iraq fraud
Holly Manges Jones at 11:10 AM ET
[JURIST] A new federal lawsuit has been filed against banned American military contractor Custer Battles [corporate website] and two former Pentagon officials alleging that the defendants tried to bypass a suspension order against the contractor by setting up shell companies to continue gaining rebuilding contracts in Iraq. The lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by AP, names former acting Navy Secretary Hansford T. Johnson [official profile] and former acting Navy Undersecretary Douglas Combs as co-conspirators in the scheme. The suit was brought by two whistleblowers, including Robert Isakson, a former employee of the contractor who won [JURIST report] a previous suit against Custer Battles in March based on allegations that the firm overcharged the US Coalition Provisional Authority [official website] by nearly $50 million.
This is one of many that is being looked at for fraud..... and IMO fraud in a time of war should equal a very long prison sentence.
