I have posted two posts on the subject of Companies making money of war and in some cases. probably in all cases fuel war.
Now let me the present Companies who are not only making money but indulge in widespread corruption.
Be it Bofors , Halliburton.
Here is the List.
So the leather people sold your Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of McClellan saddles for the cavalry.
But there wasn't any American cavalry overseas!
Somebody had to get rid of this leather, however.
Somebody had to make a profit in it -- so we had a lot of McClellan saddles.
And we probably have those yet.
Somebody had a lot of mosquito netting.
They sold your Uncle Sam 20,000,000 mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas.
Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France!
