Privatization of war....

Mercenaries in Iraq are making, by some accounts, $1,000 a day, while U.S. soldiers there make around $1,100 a month.

Not only is this morally outrageous, but yet another example of Neocons funneling money from taxpayers' pockets into corporate hands.

Don't they tell us that "marketplace streamlining" will result in things costing less? While in reality, the only thing that ends up "less" is money left in the pocket of the little guy.

No doubt, this immoral war would be costing U.S. taxpayers fewer dollars if it were being fought with conscripts.

There again, would we have invaded Iraq in the first place if we'd had a non-volunteer army?
