Make the Pentagon Take Responsibility For Its Contractors!
It's been reported that 8,763 veterans with
service-related disabilities died before Lockheed Martin got around to
distributing their payments. And furthermore, Congress suspects that
thousands of these claims were either given in the wrong amount or
wrongfully denied.
Is this how the DoD rewards veterans who gave such sacrifices
defending our country? By refusing, forgetting or mishandling their
benefits? It's time for the Pentagon to face the truth: their
no-bid, cost-plus contracts aren't working, and they are hurting our
troops and veterans. It's time for the Pentagon to move in a different
direction, and it's time for them to rethink the way they set up their
contracts. Sign our petition to the Pentagon, demanding that they hold
contractors, and themselves, accountable for getting the job done.
Petition Text: Hiring private contractors to manage the war does not relieve you of
your responsibility for the health and welfare of our troops and
veterans. We're calling on you to make sure all future contracts contain
provisions for penalties and other sanctions to hold contractors
accountable for getting the job done.
