The cost of war is always high and has always involved private industry. This didn't start with Rumsfeld. The government has never made its own guns, bombs, planes, tanks or any other tool of the trade. > And waste in free markets definitely is not isolated to one firm. Ask a bank. The banks are not a free market! They were all bailed out by government. In a free market they'd all be gone. When I say "one firm" I mean "one at a time." Instead of systemic waste like in a government-run industry.
