Six months leave and $280,000 for contractors in Afghanistan?

Before you read the report there is something that really made me scream

The Army's internal investigation showed that supervisors directed team members to claim the maximum amount of overtime and comp time possible, earning them salaries topping $280,000 and entitling them to six months paid leave upon returning to the United States.

Thinking about what the troops make for what they do and how long they have to do it, this should have everyone screaming!

Documents show concerns about Human Terrain Team members reached high levels of the Army.

WASHINGTON — Senior Army leaders were warned about potential fraud and rampant sexual harassment by government social scientists sent to Iraq and Afghanistan under the Army's Human Terrain System, newly released documents show.

An investigation of time cards submitted by the Human Terrain Team members in 2009 and 2010 "revealed irregularities both in overtime and compensatory time card reporting...Of note, supervisory involvement in the time sheet management process was not documented, nor does there appear to be an auditable system in place," according to documents released by the Army.

In February, a USA TODAY investigation of the program found substantiated instances of sexual harassment and racism, potential fraud in filing time sheets and indifference to the reports team members had produced. The Army documents were obtained earlier this year by USA TODAY through a Freedom of Information Act request. But the Army withheld some part of the report then, and released them this month after a series of FOIA appeals.
