      I don't know how it works. Do politicians get paid indirectly for getting big contracts for defence companies like a commission type of thing?

      @@yeshuaislord6880 There are multiple scenarios on why this happens. A common way is the red tape requires rigorous testing and certification for non failure especially for life support equipment and aircraft or other weapon or equipment platforms. The marked up price reflects the cost associated with the testing and certifications, required by the government which is understandable and common. However private sector taking advantage of government needs and price gouging is also common for general goods, and supplies. Also certification and engineering approval can lead to markup. The issue is that not very many companies can afford the additional testing and certs required by the red tape, and the few companies who can also are granted subsidies from the government to gain the certifications. In this process, these few companies who win the contracts and get the certification to produce approved equipment and hardware for the military also happen to be many companies that the said individuals making the laws have heavily invested in. So it’s basically the ones writing the laws and regulations fix the system requiring the government to purchase solely from entities they are highly invested in. Prices are marked up, and huge profits are sent out to the investors along with cuts to company ownership in many cases. It is often rigged but not always. I was in the military for ten years as a logistics troop. I’ve seen the inside of this madnesses directly. One example was I was working with a Lockheed engineer and a crew chief to find a battery tray for an AC-130W gunship because it was broken and corroded. The original part was around $200 to manufacture but was since not in production anymore. There were companies submitting bids for $80K and up marking up the price of the part because it was no longer in supply, trying to take advantage of the government’s need. I declined the bids, because they were under fraud, waste and abuse and the sheet metal shop on base was able to come up with an alternative for a few hundred bucks on initial cost.

The first one got deleted by TH-cam because I went in depth on how lawmakers rig the system so that it forces government agencies and DOD to purchase supplies and equipment from companies they invest in, and then hike up the prices.

    I was with BW near the beginning. I worked for Erik for 7 years in Iraq mostly. It was a great job. I was previously deployed in the Army in Kosovo and on GWOT and on OEF in GTMO. I loved the Army and my job but I fought the chain of command officially the entire time over 3 years while deployed. One of my best memories with Erik was my team drove in to a base in Baghdad where Erik had helo'ed in and threw us a awesome BBQ! After BW was being expunged I stopped contracting. I didn't like Tripple C and had a bad experience with them and Armor Group. Those other companies were way too beurocratic which defeats the purpose of being a PMC. Thank you Erik for the wonderful opportunity and I hope to see you again at the next BW get together!

    You need to pay very close attention to what Prince says. The guy is slick, he was doing alot of work in Africa and the Gulf. He relocated there to avoid prosecution or hefty fines under the Obama administration. his sister obviously is Betsy Devos. PBD had him on because he is a big Trump backer which is fine. But again Patrick shined the light on him and threw at best a bunch of underhand pitches. Prince also stated that Africa should be colonized by America, in fact they already are.
