A kid I went to school with was killed by electrocution in Iraq. It turns out it wasn’t an isolated incident, and his family is suing the contractor responsible.

I was hooking up some wires and one stopped me and said “Stop… you have that wrong, you have the black wire going to one of the power studs, that’s a ground”

Yeah… it was AC current

I heard about something like this.

KBR is raping the taxpayers and killing off the soldiers.

It’s unbelievable that this crap goes on, and the accountability is near zero. The fact that our soldiers are dying because of the greed of the KBR organization is absolutely heinous.
