I guess thats why KBR has a 'civilian version of the purple heart'. It gives the impression that those who were killed while working for them were serving their country. It makes the jobs for KBR seem more honourable than that of any other working stiff. Alot of people are killed on the job but they don't receive the equivalent of an honour usually reserved for the military. But then again, they aren't usually killed by the U.S. military, either.

I find the relationship of KBR to the U.S. govt. very odd.
