Yeah, but your laptop doesn't look all cool and durable, now does it? That box thing looks like you could drop it from a plane and have it still work. And who doesn't love a neat satellite dish? I think you shouldn't complain about the equipment, and I'm not just saying that because my company happens to have the sweet, bloated contract to manufacture that shit.

YOU ARE THE CANCER THAT IS KILLED AMERICA(N SOLDIERS)!!!

Surely we're not big enough to be cancer. That's Halliburton or Kellogg Brown and Root. We're more like gonorrhea, or possibly herpes.

Hey, KBR carted away my poo while I was over there. I was very much in appreciation of that, especially after walking around in Baghdad (a city with a dearth of such services). And speaking of which, two of their friendly Czech employees driving a Porta-Potty cleaning truck were more than happy to hose off a Humvee that two of us had managed to get stuck in the mud (I still don't know how we did that). And all they asked for in return was seven American dollars and some classified aerial maps of the installation.
