The CIA itself is a quasi-civilian agency and much of their “work” is now distributed through the same contract system that leeched so much from our military capability by legislative order.
The Peace Dividend. Sacrifices had to be made to support an ever growing welfare system, doncha know. Gotta prioritize.
I still don’t get what is it that NCIS is supposed to have done in Anbar province, and how that connects to any of this.
Btw, I have no clue if anything in that article regarding the contract company is true fact or not. Most of my knee-jerkiness in my comments in this thread is simple disgust at how my fellow Marines are being treated by our gov. and the legal operatives within our service.
