Bill Bodie doesn’t know SQUAT about Qarmat Ali except what KBR tells him to write. I was there! I saw with my own EYES what sodium dichromate did and IS doing the soldiers today. Bill Bodie – you can take your non-patriotic ass back to KBR HQ in Houston and stay there! Better yet – how ’bout you sign on the dotted line like the rest of us did – go out to South Iraq, sit in that shit for 12 hours OR MORE a day, and then come back and tell us if we’re lying. That’s what you’re saying, Bill. Every soldier that was there is a liar, and is allowing ourselves to be manipulated into thinking we’ve been wronged. The fact of the matter is that you’ve never been to South Iraq, and you’ve never been to the contaminated site, so you don’t know shit! PLAIN AND SIMPLE! By the way – your welcome… for the right to sit in front of a computer and call US soldiers liars. I hope you appreciate that right. It was given to you freely.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
Thank you for that comment. I couldn’t agree more. I’m sorry you had to be exposed to this toxin and I am sorry that you now have to fight KBR to prove you have been injured and they are at fault. I will continue to blog and publicize this horrible crime.

Thank you for serving!

I recent the comments about the capabilities of the KBR employees that served side by side with our military and the United Nations in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was there. If you were not, you are the ignorant one. This was the first time in our history that anything like this had been done. I could go on and on about the pressures of being there was like (mortor fire, 7 day/12 hr a week, etc…), but the pressure from the US Military was the worst. They threatened KBR constantly and then prevented us from doing what they wanted (yes wanted, not necessarily, needed). I was at D9, where the soldier was electrocuted in the shower a year before it happened. You have no idea how it is there. Special Ops… that should be enough said; but little to no access to most buildings on that camp is what that means. I was home on R & R when he died and the project lead called my personal cell phone to tell me of the terribly sad situation. It killed all KBR employees every one of OUR SOLDIERS died. We saw them come in the gates blown to hell all the time. You guys have no idea unless you have been there. And… if you had and you still feel this way, you stayed too long and became bitter about a no win situation that all Americans have been put in by the war in Iraq!!!

Ms Sparky’ Response:
No one trashes the “boots on the ground” KBR employees here unless you have committed a crime. No one is blaming KBR “boots on the ground” KBR employees for Ryan’s death. Not even his mother. KBR management and the DoD are responsible for Ryan’s death.

And yes I was in Iraq…..the war zone excuse just isn’t good enough. Demanding clients just isn’t a good excuse for doing the wrong thing. A “Work Order” doesn’t make it OK. The DCMA plays a huge part here.

Does KBR have a Special Program they send potential or current employees to – kinda like a bootcamp of sorts – where these folks are INDOCTRINATED – Brainwashed into thinking like Bodie and other high ranking KBR dictators? I know that many people have gone to be indoctrinated by the Taliban or Al-Quieda to do the bidding of Osama Bin Laden and his next in command – training camps to Enhance their mindset, physical training, methods of terrorism, even committing death by suicide while putting on a vest laden with explosives, thereby taking out many innocent victims. These people do the dirty work while the upper levels sit back and watch their handy work unfold. Then they probably say – I can’t believe these IDIOTS actually do what we tell them. These people have a hidden agenda by recruiting the poor, homeless, mentally disturbed, or weak-minded to achieve their goals.
Now – what- if any is the difference in KBR’s employees doing the dirty deeds for people like Bodie (falling on the knife)and paying the ultimate concequence, and those that do the bidding of Osama Bin Laden? Is there a parallel between (some of KBR’s follower’s that pay the price – like Radcliff) and the insurgent suicide bombers?

Ms Sparky’s Response:
Interesting comparison. I think the KBR boot camp is call “Orientation” and it’s located in Houston. I think the problem is that most people (typical KBR employee) truly believes they are dong the right thing and that everything KBR is telling them is the truth. I don’t believe anyone goes over to Iraq or Afghanistan planning on braking the law for KBR. They just get groomed into it. The next thing you know they are taking short cuts because it has always been OK. They are taking bribes because everyone is doing it and it’s always been OK.

Then someone dies, or gets sick or some gets caught and KBR claims no knowledge and throws them under the bus. Most of these people are just normal people who succumbed to the “It’s mission essential…we have to get this done now!” demands of their management.
