Should we privatise war? As in handing out contracts and jobs to private military companies, such as Blackwater USA. It is already going on, Blackwater USA has contracts with the US Government in 10 countries, including Iraq, where it serves as a 'private security force'. In basic terms, they are mercenaries.
I say, let's privatise war. I see them as armed relief workers, who carry out duties such as escorting essential supplies and important personnel, training policemen and soldiers, delivering aid, etc. If they get attacked in their line of duty, they would be authorised to respond violently.
That way, the 'real' soldiers can be relieved from delivering aid, and moved on to the battlefield.
Yay or nay?
