its no secret that in almost every facet of air force life corruption is an everyday practice, from soliciting credit cards on behalf of private banks to Falsely accusing enlisted airman out to save money. from top to bottom the Air force is a rotting Cesspool of greed and corruption i cant wait till my contract is up.

As a former Procurement mid-level officer in the US Armed Forces I would have easily notice legal issues with this contract award. Yet, the same people that would have thrown me in jail for awarding this contract don’t seem to see any conflict with their actions…interesting!

This is the same Airforce that has become the evangelizing heart of the military today.

This is just part of the CORRUPTED GEORGE W. BUSH ADMINISTRATION. This also goes along with the Bush/Cheney/Rice $1.0 Trillion U.S. Embassy in IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this is nothing compared to the Vice President and Hallibuton’s involvement in the Iraq war and nothing is being done about that.

I am in no way saying what happened in this instance. I think the polictical slander held forth by most major media oulets is crazy. OKay off the soap box. Sorry about that. Capt Saavy I just wanted to clarify one little thing. (As it is my actual job) If both comanies in the bid are identical then absolutley, the lowest bidder would be taken. However, in this instance if you go through all the information and see what was offered there is a glaring difference between the two bids and the quality of work that can be offered. This being the case, the lowest bid was not the best and higher one was in fact the best fit. I wonder if you are active duty or prior service and understand exactly how these things are done. It is not as cut and dry as this biased news reporter claims. God Bless America and I will continue to fight for all of your rights to badmouth us at every turn.

Wow, and these are the same people who kick people out for stealing. Gen. Hornburg did not wait the six months to deal with the govt….Gen. Moseley and Gen. Jumper helped pushed the deal through. A contract is presented with certain criteria you must meet, and the lowest bidder is chosen. How can a bid twice as much be overlooked? Corruption.

It seems that a lot of people who know nothing about government contracts has a lot to say about how they’re selected. It’s hard to imagine that Gen Moseley or Gen Jumper had anything to do with the selection of the recipient of Thunderbirds contract. It would have been influenced more by the fact that Gen Hornburg worked for the company. The contracting officer (who has more likely never spoken with either Moseley, Jumper, or Hornburg) is bound by law to be impartial on which company receives the contract. Then their head of contracting reviews the choice and so on. The only reason the FBI is included in the investigation is because of the level of the individuals being accused. The Air Force and the government takes accusations such as these very seriously. Normally, it would have been investigated by Office of Special Investigations or the Inspector General of the Air Force. Likely, the contract will not be reawarded until the investigation is completed.

Maybe ABC should step back and learn from CBS (See? BS) and Dan Rather. If they don’t check their facts, don’t report impartially, and continue to maintain the appearance of a hidden agenda, they too may be looking for another news anchor…and an audience that will trust them. Of course they can always hire some morning talk show info-babe to try to bolster their sagging ratings…
