... requiring U.S.Corporations and their 'money-interests'/David Rockefeller-ruling elites et al to form their own damn private military for their never-so-little predatory-capitalistic forays into poor, 3rd World countries ... kinda like the French Foreign Legion.

This would be a far more honest approach than allowing them to operate under the auspices of the United Nations, or worse, behind the flag of the United States of America.

Seems when one gets get greedy AND heavy-handed with poor foreign folks, they always tend to HATE you AND your country ... even if you are the ruler of the free world and toss them a few container ships of rice every now and then.

And there's always that sticky problem of the inevitable DEAD GI"s.
