“Oh. I had a Ugandan contractor once. He worked in Iraq as a security guard. What we called a TCN, a third country national. He got shot, he had to go home to Uganda. So what does he do when he gets home? He starts a company to send more Ugandan contractors to Iraq. And you know what he wanted from me? He wanted permission to send Ugandans to Afghanistan.” “Are you calling us stupid?” “I’m calling you brave.” “Is it brave or stupid to use American imperial adventures as a business opportunity?” “Great question. I’d refer you to the Bush administration to answer that one.”
