What is with all the stupid mercenary talk lately?
Sure, let’s trust our national security to a bunch of guys whose only loyalty is to a paycheck. Screw it, we can just disband the US military and replace it with these clowns. Yeah, that is a brilliant idea.

Absolutely a fine idea ... mercs won’t concern themselves with those pesky R.O.E. that so many leftists think are needed so the mercs can take the fight directly to ISIL and use whatever tactics are needed to be victorious. I do believe that naked, merciless violence is all that any koranimal understands. I recently heard someone say that (paraphrasing) when fighting the muslim you need to kill them, kill more of them and when they are all gone, kill their goat.

Good advice.

Time to re-establish the Templars or the like. States don’t seem up to the task. Maybe private organizations can do better.

Until FOX news showed video of captured Blackwater employees being beheaded.

Sure. You can always prosecute them afterward.

You send mercenaries when you don’t have the nerve to stand up in front of the American people and explain why this fight is necessary.

We should point out that ISIS was our mercenary army. Building a mercenary army using muslims as your raw material and you’ll get ISIS every time, unless you are prepared to use non-muslims to lead them as we did in the early war against the Taliban.

The rise of PMC’s is driven by the rise of Non-State Actors, right?

Maybe, but the PC drive to use the military as a Social Experiment Laboratory is a stronger factor.

As long as the US military is not really a military then the US need for a REAl military will continue to thrive, ergo PMC’s.

This is what Bill O’Reilly has been proposing, and Prince agrees. Every nation wanting protection would help pay.
