Re: but I also hope our government gets out of the business of hiring mercenaries to do the job our military is supposed to be tasked with doing.
Agree with this 100%.
What is the problem hiring paramilitary personnel for temporary duties?
Seems there are provisions for it in the Constitution.
OUr government has been hiring “mercs” since it was formed. The only people who are against this are people who don’t know squat about everything these people do for our country. You are not a bad person I am sure, but you are ignorant.
