Yup
A hired gun is a hired gun.
If you're worried about the USA being "defeated", maybe you ought to look into why the State Dept. has to outsource security. Used to be the Marines' job -- why isn't it now? Spread too thin? Either there aren't enough Marines, or they've been asked to do too much -- or both. Who's fault is that? Not "the Left".
Or, just maybe, the civilians who need private security don't belong in a war zone? That was one point of my last post, in case you ignored it: Used to be, the military ran the combat area until it was completely "pacified", before the civvies were even allowed near it.
You want to win the war? Then win the goddamn war already, and stop putzing around.
