Follow the logic Cap’n. Free the support force, which normally do this, and you put an extra shooter on the line. Politicians pay off the companies that back their campaigns, giving them a nice contract. You have a situation where it is easy to slip money to get through the cracks and hard to get people to account. It is a wet dream Politiker.Folgen you every war profiteering and find with the exception of the Revolutionary War. It sucks but it’s not much you can do is contrast. You can always buy in Haliburton or Blackwater, I take hope an.Ich, there is a special place in hell for politicians and war profiteers.

The government has not enough volunteers for the military, so they pay for independent companies to have to do their bidding.

It is a cynical, quasi-criminal means for the government to double the number of armed personnel in Iraq have acknowledged as public. Think we have 130K troops in Iraq? No, some quarter of a million we have, including Blackwater and the like.

He keeps saying it from the budget – and Bush can not, “we only have such and such numbers of troops in Iraq.” It’s all smoke and mirrors.

You did not follow the Geneva Convention, they can get the info that we pretend to by all means. and can kill them, which must be killed by any means necessary. Hire more of them

can hide their the government the number of people, lots of money spent and the actions of these companies from the media industry. they are part of the force, and they make three or four times as much money as the military guys doing the same job, but the store us government, (you) for everything they do. . . . The main reason is because of the media, every night you hear how many soldiers we have there and how many soldiers are dead, the real numbers are double and triple what it says message anyway, since they count only the actual troops, not all of Blackwater (Halliburton guys) It is our government to lie and deceive us. . . too. . . they (Halliburton) are responsible for all food, transportation, paperwork, etc etc.. . and they demand $ 56 to the us govt, for a single paper plate. . . so when a Marine grabs two plates to keep food warm, we are one of the talkin $ 112 before you do all about the food, utensills, drinks, i talk even want to know what a napkin costs. . . And our governmet simply overwhelmed and say: OK, ill give you $ 56 for a paper plate and Halli Burton (Vice-company) gets all the money, yay conflcit of interest for the max. . . UN a winnable war, a company that is in bed with the government that makes more money every day we are there. Take away all the religious extremism and manure in the region and there is still a swamp, the governmnet own because they were raped by themselves and a company owned by the Vice President. . . . God damn

Many good answers, but one that is not mentioned. Our troops have some sensible rules of engagement and the Geneva Convention folgen.Die black hand them boys no restrictive laws. It increased the number of mercenaries under the prison mess gefoltert.Es is about avoiding responsibility, a phrase which is the standard of the Bush / Cheney regime has.

Oh boy! Outsourcing is one method to curtail some liability while increasing hidden profit. Check any scandal surfaced in the past fifty years and plus look at the ratio of men followed up by research. The political relationship is no accident.
