Neocon Privatization of the Military Continues Under BushReich

These MERCENARIES are not subject to the same rules of conduct as are the military.

I should say they are not subject to the same rules to which the military is supposed to be subject, since the Nazi-Stalinist-corporate controlled, thug sponsoring, assassinating and overthrowing, detention camp running, rights and liberties destroying, election fixing, kidnapping, murdering, war starting, pathologically lying, democracy hating pork asses in the BushReich have decided to ignore rules and treaties, along with history, science and common sense, in their pursuit of the Perfect Corporate Imperium.

Nor are Mercenaries subject to the same low pay and crummy benefits as our troops, drawn from the ranks, in many cases, of those who enlist in military service as a way to gain employment and opportunity in a republikkkan mastered economy that offers them less of both every day.

However, MERCENARIES are still paid with tax dollars, just tax dollars dispensed through rich, no bid contracts written by such proven failures and glaring crooks as Rummy and Co.

Blackwater, most of whose workers are former members of elite military units such as the Navy SEALs, now provides security for the U.S. ambassador to Iraq under a contract with the State Department.

The reconstruction of Iraq has been hampered by insurgent activity, Taylor said, and Blackwater has the expertise to quell insurgent attacks if invited by the Iraqi government.

Peter Singer, a scholar at the Brookings Institution who has written a book on private military companies, said the concept of private armies engaging in counter-insurgency missions raises myriad questions about staffing standards, rules of engagement and accountability.

"No matter how you slice it, it's a private entity making decisions of a political nature," he said.
