Military Families Speak Out Issue 145: The Courage to Leave includes this citation from Bob Herbert of the New York Times on June 11, 2010: "The US doesn't win wars anymore. We just funnel the stressed and underpaid troops in and out of the combat zones, while all the while showering taxpayer billions on the contractors and giant corporations that view the horrors of war as a heaven-sent bonanza. BP, as we've been told repeatedly recently, is one of the largest suppliers of fuel to the wartime US military."
