“I listened O’Rielly’s POV. Two things (just off the top of my head) that would worry me; (1) who controls the Global Mercenary Military and (2) what happens if this Military is turned against us?”
You’ve nailed it. Command and Control. Americans would eventually hate them. And, these merc’s would eventually dispise Americans. Do a quick read on thr history of the French Foreign Legion. When De Gaulle decided to grant Algeria it’s Independence, Algeria being the Legions historic and emotional home, resisted. Legion units station in France attempted to overthrow the Frence government but were defeated. De Gualle was tempted to completely disband the Legion. And, for all practical purposes did do. But, did retain a couple of battalions and posted them in Paris so to keep them under thumb. But, my main problem with O’Rielly’s proposal is this; if Americans are no longer willing to fight in their own countrie’s behalf, then America is list and deserves to go down the toilet. We will have become Rome.....
