They would not have made the top 140 - but they are close.

Here's 2010 - $308K total spent.

2010 Halliburton

Thanks, i guess that I was wrong
Looking at it from a military point of view and witnessing forst hand of the amount of money that they recieved (no bid contracts) verses what they actually provided for the troops just pizzes me off
