Wilkes ... asked for a $6 million contract, which he got over the objections of a Pentagon contracting officer.
The off-the-shelf computer equipment provided in that contract cost Wilkes $1.5 million to purchase, prosecutors said, netting an exorbitant profit.

10 years isn't good enough--for either of them.

Man, did this guy go off the deep end. Threw his whole life, family, friends and reputation away. I hope it was worth it to him. Sad.

It wasn't greed.

Duke was an insecure man, always looking for the glory he lost after his Vietnam exploits no longer commanded an audience. He wanted to feel important again.

He was greedy only for the attention he once had and lost.

I'm still sickened over Duke's actions. How monumentally foolish of him! Ten years is what he should do.
