Personally, I dont have a problem with that, I think its probably cheaper to hire mercenaries then to field our own forces in most cases anyhow. The drawback is we dont have good control over them and could become responsible for their misdeeds. I suppose there is a moral issue here also, but in todays world, and fighting terrorists, I myself, dont give morality much thought. Seems to me its coming down to kill or be killed and once something really drastic happens in USA I suspect most of us will come to that conclusion. jdn
