Activities that included smuggling alcohol on transport planes to the amount that planes were in danger of tipping over on the tarmac until unloaded, suspicion of bringing 4 women on base just for prostitution activities under the guises of being cleaners, allowing militia free and unrestricted access to the US bases, permitting non-cleared vehicles access to the flight line while in contact with US fighter jets, and having multiple pieces of US owned assets to be stolen on flatbed trucks out of of the base. Auditors were told to look the other way and were eventually fired due to their investigating.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 561 #2 June 30, 2017 Have you read the book "Whistleblower"? Have you seen the movie? It details the struggles of American police woman Kathryn Bolkova contracted with the United Nations in the former Yugoslavia. She was hired to investigate prostitution, sex slaves, etc. She was shocked by drug-running, prostitution and human smuggling rings. After she reported her findings, she was shunned by the U.N. and eventually moved to the Netherlands. Similar smuggling operations have been aided and abetted by U.N. contracted troops during dozens of missions. Corruption and collusion with local criminal gangs is especially bad when the U.N. hires soldiers/peace-keepers from third world countries. Peacekeepers from Third-World countries are rarely more than light infantry. In order to turn a profit, third world soldiers (contracted with the U.N.) often rape, loot, pillage and help local gangsters. Since corrupt army officers are the norm in third-world countries, they rarely clash with press or courts. This sort of corruption is less frequent with U.N. peace-keepers from first-world nations because they fear their sins being exposed on TV back home. Also consider that First-World armies usually lose money on U.N. contracts because they "come heavy" (Canadian General MacKenzie in Sarajevo) with APCs, anti-tank rockets, communicators, medics, field engineers, helicopters, intelligence, headquarters, logistics trains, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
