Dozens of U.S. Navy officials have admitted to being bought off by a gregarious, rotund Malaysian defense contractor known as “Fat Leonard” who plied them with prostitutes, Cuban cigars and free stays at the Philippines’ Shangri-La hotel among other things
But that’s not enough for Grazier, who said the military needs to move away from contracting out so much of its work. As bases have closed worldwide, the Navy has increasingly turned to contractors to do what it once did in-house.
Grazier fears the case's biggest impact has been on young people like his son who is an enlisted sailor. Craig Hooper, a defense contractor, said the Navy needs to increase its auditing teams and also adapt its rules so they fit the cultural norms of where it operates. In Asia, for instance, it's common to go out for drinks or dinner to form business relationships yet many junior officers are expected to pay out of their own pockets, though many can't afford it. Hooper said the Navy should be footing those bills rather than creating situations that lend themselves to corruption.
