I would love to get a better photo of this KBR ad on the DC Metro…. OK all my DC readers…hint hint!
Before I start slamming KBR in typical “Ms Sparky” style, I just want to clarify I know there are a lot of qualified hard working good people working for KBR in Iraq and Afghanistan TRYING to support our troops the best they can. The problem is they are being led by unqualified, short sighted idiots. With that in mind let the slamming begin.
I find it interesting that KBR is advertising in Washington DC. Are they finding the customer is a little miffed with them?? Are KBR and the DoD on the outs…..one can only hope!
Here’s what I can read on this sign…..that’s why I need a better photo.
Wherever your mission takes you….
Step 2,??? Fresh Linens
Step 2,082 (?) Clean Clothes
Step 2,??? Hot Meal
Step ?,??? Clean Water
(Then there are two I can’t read at all)
We are with you every step of the way.
KBR
Let’s start with clean water. Are you talking about the water contaminated with micro-organisms or the water contaminated by chemicals like Camp Kalsu.
Are you talking about the poorly constructed and maintain housing and AB units?
Are you talking about the electrified showers? Or the water heaters that blow up?
Are you talking about the burn pit exposures? Or the chemical exposures like Qarmat Ali?
Are you talking about the over charging? Are you talking about the serious abusing of your own employees?
There just might be some soldiers out there who are thinking it’s not such a good idea to have KBR with them “every step of the way”.
KBR….the end does not justify the means. You can’t just do what you want and then chalk it up to “it’s a war zone”! Our soldiers deserve better than that!
I hope you are not charging the US taxpayers for this ad campaign!!
Ms Sparky
LOL, Sparkie you get kick don’t you
Keep up the good work.
Ms Sparky’s Response:
I have to get my kicks where I can.
Man, if I had some Ms. Sparky stickers I’d slap one right on top of it! I’ll try and get a better pic of this for you.
Ms Sparky’s Response:
I look forward to seeing the pic!!
You know I don’t condone vandalism or destruction of property…..BUT it does make me want to run right out and have some bumper stickers made!!!
There should be a disclaimer at the bottom in small print, “Only if your Management”
Ms Sparky’s Response:
I always wondered who was getting to clean water!
My guess is that these posters were put up for AUSA Annual conference – the first week of October.
Ms Sparky’s Response:
I wasn’t aware of that conference! Thanks
AUSA-Association of the United States Army
Trying to convince the Army they are worth the billions they are stealing?
Is KBR it’s own “Criminal Enterprize” – some how with hooks to the mob? Or are they the MOB? If so – wouldn’t they fall under the “REECO ACT”? My spelling may be wrong on the REECO part of that – but law enforcement will know what I am referring to.
for-what-it’s-worth,
The RICO Act was used in a suit against DynCorp.

Does anyone know what advertising agency created these ads for KBR?
I guess these ads are everywhere. Here’s a photo of a billboard!! I’ll bet this causes a few accidents.
