expensive laundry

   I've been reading that there are some budget problems between Halliburton and the US government. Apparently not enough has been budgeted to meet Halliburton's figures. For instance, KBR (a division of big H) says it needs $10 billion per year to feed, house and provide other services for the 150,000 troops in Iraq. Umm.. I must be missing something - perhaps that other services part is what I don't get. Because if you divide that up, it's about $66,000 per soldier per year. $182/day. When I see food and lodging, I figure the "other" is basic services like laundry, etc. If there's not some other major service included in that figure, we're getting ripped off.
   Another fun fact, before the war it was budgeted to cost $60 billion. This is making someone a lot of money...
