I learned so much with my time in the Army Corps of Engineers in Vietnam. I was proud of what we built and why. When asked if I'm a veteran and what branch. I ALWAYS say 'Army Engineers.'

As someone that’s worked for USACE, it’s by far the worst place I’ve worked. The pay is ok and the benefits are good but seeing the horrendous waste, red tape around everything, and cutting corners on every project is more than I can stomach.

Can someone even try to say why the Corps of Engineers spends 92 billion dollars a year in places NOT IN THE USA???????????????

[@mochiebellina8190]

Well we have troops stationed in hundreds of bases in hundreds of countries. Its called occupation, colonization and just empire for short.

[@dougbergren8035]

The general explained what they were doing in foreign countries.

WTF stop purposely twisting words. Vast majority of that 92 Bill is domestic.
