What really ticked me off was that prior to deployments into the region was the human trafficking briefings we were forced to sit through, and then once on the ground, we saw it all around us. However, as the primary military contractors had sub-contracted the work of laundry, custodian, food service to other companies, who sub-contracted hiring to another, the US govt contract overseers waved their hands in the air and said there was nothing they could do, because those sub- sub-, subbed contractors were based outside the US and had different laws....

And as NASA astronauts used to remind people, the US gov't always goes with the lowest cost solution....
