#1 Perhaps they're trading hot lunches for that new-and-improved underwear?

#2 I've done KP, its doable, but it eats up manpower that is suppose to be manning the line. BTW, the cooks don't do KP, its a detail composed of non-food prep personnel who support the cooks from the Company/Battalion - i.e. Duty Roster. Rummy was all big and hot for shifting jobs from uniforms to civies to maximize combat power. Now here's a good question for the rabble that is suppose to be the MSM at the press conferences. If the objective is to put more guns in the fight why are we pursuing policies that then take those same guns off the line and back into the Mess Hall [...er Dining Facility]?.

#3 1) you don't know that is a policy that is being pursued. You have one person who thinks they might lose the service from contracted foreign laborers.

2) there may be security issues here as well as financial ones

3) there may be a need to dump this contractor and recompete the contract
