"Privatized" US forces ,using "contractors[mercenaries], seems to show the private sector cannot do anything right-when we used only our govt. military,we defeated Japan & Germany-with our mercenaries we are having the same gain as England with the Hessians....

The U.S. Department of Defense needs to update DOD Directive 5210.48 to include random polygraph tests on foreign troops and police we train in Afghanistan/Pakistan and our own troops to identify friend or foe personnel in the ranks.
