Nope. No need to change the way the DoD does business.

Silence is deafening.

I don't know whether this qualifies as an answer, but I'll give it a shot. . .

Goverment fund could have ended up in the FLDS church by Warren Jeffs little Welfare Scam. Since many, if not any of the wives of the FLDS are not legally married, they can, and they have been using the welfare system to get money as single-non working mothers, even though they do not exactly need the funds because they have a more than aboundous support group; the many many many many family members.

great avatar, btw.

With contracts adding up to such a small amount ($1.5MM is VERY small), the level of due diligence by the DoD was likely very limited. Further, they don't ask what your religious affiliation is. That would be against the law.

1.5 million is enough to sustain a compound of pedophilia and law breaking.

The fact that it's "small" by comparison to the overall DoD contracting is irrelevent, except insofaras it demonstrates how these contracts are bloated and the system under which they're awarded is severely flawed.

DoD dispenses it as if it were nothing; and it's not so much the religion that is the red-flag, it's the little girls.

The article indicates their were personal relationships at the center of this deal.

That needs to be fleshed out.

................... and there are more than a few here, are afraid to crawl out from under their rocks, which political party has been in charge of both the Pentagon and Texas for the last 7 or more years, the same IDIOT GOP leadership who have been destroying this once great, fiscally responsible and respected party since Bush one, IT IS TIME TO THROW THE NATIONAL JERKS OUT "NOW?

You bumped your own thread after a half hour of not getting attention?

I don't think with the whole seperation of church and state thing you have the right to ask people what their religion is nor can you base whether you give a company a contract on what religious groups or charities they might give to until such time as those/groups charities go down for something like this or some such. Just having one member, even a leader, convicted as an accomplice to rape doesn't disbar the whole organization.


It will, however, make the FBI take a look at you. Which may be how they got brought down.

How about some props for the FBI?

I wouldn't know. I've never run a cult.

I just explained to you how it happened. I don't recall saying anything about it not being bloated or flawed. It's the freakin' government. Everything about the government is bloated and flawed. Defense worst of all.

So does the fraud rife within medicare and social security that makes $1.5 million look like a few pennies. Government inefficiency isn't news to most true conservatives.
