First you obviously aren't getting my point. Second apply this to corporations. Why should anyone not sell their job out and all it's corporate secrets when that corp will sell you out without thinking twice about it. Loyalty runs both ways, otherwise it's just abuse.

First you obviously aren't getting my point. Second apply this to corporations. Who really cares if a programmer jumps ship from one corporation to another? Who really cares if Ford makes a lousy car if I can by GM? Life will go on pretty much as normal

But you will really care and be upset if the 82nd airborne marches on Washington for their politician or Ranger Batt refuses to go into battle until they get more money.

In Afgan, you can hire soldiers for less than $1 a day. You really want the armed forces of America full of soldiers like that (althought the defense budget could be cheap)?

Ok, let me explain something to you very, very , very slowly. Ok, ready? Here we go. I was making an analogy to the military doing the same thing as corporations to prove a point NOT because I was actually advocating mercenaries...we can understand this, yes? As for corporations, it means a lot when the inherent knowledge base jumps ship and goes to greener pastures, or worse the technology goes overseas.
