Why are people so cruel wrote:

My personal view would be why are contractors used in the first place,
the US had a nearly perfect example of how to win the peace at the end
of WWII. The German and Japanese populations were put to work cleaning
up the mess that their country was in - the reward was being fed. But instead
the lure of big money was too great and contractors were employed at an
enormous cost to the taxpayer to build roads, schools (with no teachers),
hospitals (with no doctors), drive trucks, and a host of other things that
locals would do for a fraction of the cost of imported labor from the NATO
countries.


No mention of JVC? RCA helped Japan create an electronics
manufacturing company called 'Victor Company of Japan.'
