>>Bannon and the Blackwater founder Erik Prince had an idea of sending in thousands of contractors.

>Prohibitively expensive.

If they’re sent in, they’re going to fight in the manner that US troops are not allowed to fight: Scorched earth.

This is a BS term for mercenaries.

Its like calling illegal aliens undocumented immigrants. What are these people being contracted for? Security that proactively attack threats? These contractors are mercenaries - why is the United States of America employing mercenaries? Seems wrong - seems like you do that if the public doesn't support the war that "must" be fought.

I'll listen tonight but further involvement in Afghanistan seems brain dead.

One of the things I was liking about the Trump presidency was how few servicemen and women were dying while he at the helm.

Let the throat cutters cut their own throats
