Actually publicizing the efforts of the private sector to supply more cheaply a service that is quintessentially public? Man, the US must be in really dire straits to even allow PMCs.

PS: If you want some real PMC bashing go play Hawx. Shooting down Clancy's silly plot in your mind between missions actually ads a whole new level to the game.

The Regression theorem is a memetic equivalent of the Theory of Evolution. To say that the former precludes the free emergence of fiat currencies makes no more sense that to hold that the latter precludes the natural emergence of multicellular organisms.

I don't understand why anyone trusts PMC's hired by the state for a second... Ya know, because the state teaming up with "market forces" and making the, "government market forces" is a good idea...

Seriously why are you guys supporting an institution which, in the modern day, has its only insentives in fighting effeciantly regardless of who they are doing it against?

I ain’t a question of ‘trusting’, rather of the clear hypocrisy of the media which criticizes PMCs for every small mistake while calling for the armed forced to carry out massacres in order to establish ‘peace and order’. Its sheer lunacy.
