		<description>While I can understand what these women have gone through, I don&#039;t think that a monetary settlement is going to help them deal with the fact that their attackers are still walking around free.  Arbitration may be fine for some things but a felony crime??  These men now know that they can get away with just a slap on the hands and the companies will pay to keep them out of the regular judicial system.  

Plus we now know that KBR will pay to keep their name out of the regular judicial system, while the injured, who are also bound by the arbitration regulations and the insurance regulations, will still have to continue to play the red tape game.  

Maybe the injured contractors should start filing civil lawsuits in order to get their injury claims expedited.  Just a thought.</description>

		<description>I have faith that God will hold us all accountable, including KBR and AIG, and those responsible in the U.S. government will also be held accountable for blatantly ignoring KBR and AIG and many more insurance companies extreme injustices that cause so much suffering on earth</description>

		<description>I am one of the 47 percent that hasn&#039;t received benefits. This is unacceptable. America should be ashamed of it&#039;s self.  Good job on those yellow ribbons though. I&#039;m starting a campaign in Spokane, Wa myself and other homeless vets are going to hold signs that say &quot; America hates it&#039;s soldiers&quot; and you can&#039;t tell me it&#039;s not true.</description>

		<description>Bet all of us who are being denied benefits stopped breathing for just bit when we read that.

It&#039;s hard to imagine someone getting that much while we&#039;re getting nothing but doubt  that any of us would deny she deserves it.
Unfortunately BINDING ARBITRATION is evidently no more BINDING than the administrative law system we are being held captive by.

Tracy is still fighting KBR.

Corporations continue to win over the taxpayer.</description>

		<description>I bet Jamie Leigh Jones wishes she had used an arbitrator now!

I am not in denying that rape or sexual assault is in any way not a horrible criminal act, but I have to wonder about all of these guys who were killed and maimed horribly who cannot even get artificial limbs when they need one.  What about the wives and families that are left destitute!  

How do they feel about this woman getting almost $3 mill for an assault that she has physically healed from?  I am not saying that she has not received any psychological trauma, just that physically she did not have an arm, leg, eye, etc...blown off. 

 I wish justice would come to all of those people with serious physical injuries (including myself) who are still waiting, and waiting.......</description>

		<description>I was there on the lines almost every day driving convoy.  J.R. and D.W.  you two have a bigger set than any two I know.  Vatos Locos forever brothers.  I came home in 2005 with a knee injury that the wonderful insurance company did not want to do the surgery on for almost a year.  Thanks to their all knowing and far seeing wisdom I am still unable to work.  I am still in physical therapy and in the process of starting nerve blocks.

There are many I was there with that have had it and still have it worse than I do.  D.W.  I remember the night you caught the glass from the IED and all the little things we used to do keep our sanity (what they allowed us to have).  J.R.  keep eating those pistachios.  

To all the others that I ran with and did my darndest to humiliate and piss off on a daily basis you now know how I kept sane.  

Guys you did a job that many would never want and no one but those of us that lived it would truly understand.  BE REAL.

Your friend

		<description>The &quot;sleeping pills&quot; they are prescribing are benzodiazepines and they are killing our troops. Benzos and anti-depressants both causes suicidal ideation. Very sad. If the war doesn&#039;t get to them, the medication will.</description>
