Pentagon Plans to Shrink Army to Pre-World War II Level

[sabrina 1]

30. I was just told that it was nonsense for me to point out that we now have

more mercenaries in these war zones than US Military. I guess they have privatized the military, outsourced our wars, so naturally they can cut those military jobs here. Makes sense to me, but apparently no one wants to talk about it in this thread, other than me, and now you.

Thanks for providing FACTS not propaganda, as always Octafish. I wonder what we have to do to stop spending billions of our tax dollars on these mercenary armies. See my post below on the cost, which no one seems able to provide, certainly not the Pentagon.

And you are correct, mercenaries, like Erik Prince eg, who btw has slammed us wimpy liberals for our lack of support for his 'patriotic work' killing Iraqis in their own country, ironically, mercenaries like him, not to mention the foreign mercenaries we are hiring, are NOT working in these places for patriotic reasons.

So sickening, all of it, even more to see the attempts to obfuscate and excuse the facts surrounding our foreign wars.
