Oh and (earth-to-clueless-congressmen) the additional (and non-existent) 70,000 active duty troops will have to have among them all kinds of new MOS classifications, as there are many tasks and missions which contractors are doing that the military simply doesn't do or is incapable of doing.
Nice to know the lawmakers are wasting taxapayer time and money on bills doomed to fail.
November cannot get here quick enough!!
Unbelievable. PMCs are nothing but professional. The job requirements to even be considered for these companies are insane. They only want the best. I guess former operators will have to find work elsewhere including working for other governments.
Fine.
Just restart the draft.
Morons.
Of course, sons of Dem lawmakers, SEIU members, and the MSM will be exempt.
“Someone ought to ask these nincompoops where they’re going to get another 70,000 or so active duty military to replace the existing contractors.”
They will be unionized government employees.
I wonder how many contractors we needed in past wars....
You're question presumes that the leftists care if our military is able to accomplish the mission, or if the country can meet it's own defense obligations. They don't.
The purpose of this legislative initiative is the same as all national security bills that are pushed by the Dums - to undermine national security and America's influence in the year. For them, the defeat of this country can't come soon enough.
The troops are supposed to kill people and break things....They are not qualified/trained to provide security of the type that the contractors provide.
