Taped:  05/24/2005.  The war in Iraq may be polarizing, but all Americans can unite around the idea that soldiers going to war shouldn't also have to fight off unsavory financial salesmen here at home who seek to separate them from their paychecks and their life insurance proceeds. Yet that's exactly what's been happening, fueled, believe it or not, by retired military officers! Diana Henriques, an award-winning reporter from The New York Times, examines these unsavory practices.  U$A Inc, currently not running on CUNY TV, offered a unique opportunity for senior members of the business community to share their thoughts on important business issues with a broad-based New York audience. While many business shows today seem focused on generating sound bites and tend to treat business as if it were a blood sport, U$A Inc allows for deeper discussion of the complex philosophical and ethical issues arising almost daily in the business world.  Host: Sarah Bartlett, Bloomberg Chair in Business Journalism at the Master's Program in Business Journalism at Baruch College.  Watch more at www.tv.cuny.edu/series/usainc
