KBR sucks even more with giving rotten food to troops

I believe in capitalism. No, I really do. Like Science, the practice of capitalism is the surest way to find the vaulue of things, to allow the evolution of good products to win over bad products.
So the basic idea of using private industry in place of some government entities doesn’t bother me. The problem is: it’s not really capitalism, because there are leeches out there that keep getting paid for serving the American public and military badly, instead of being sued and driven off a cliff. I mean, if any other company like KBR (former Halliburton spin-off) was found to be serving rotten food and drink filled with body fluids to people they’d be shut down within days.
But oh, no – not the good people KBR who are serving our fighting forces! Because to punish them would be against capitalism, or some other dumb ass reason out there.
