troops. It is important that they do keep eating. So, they need to pay out their contract fees. The contractors that are used to move supplies and equipment and all these other things that have been turned over to the private sector, need to be paid for their services. The money is not directly going to the troops. The soldiers pay is non-negotiable. They are paid while in action or not. The bonuses are an addition (but there's a lot of red tape stuck on those bonuses). I would say that most of the contracts are companies that have closer connections with the whitehouse. So, "no-bid" may not be the correct terminology, but rather close to what happens.
