Having so many 'outside contractors' performing the roles properly assigned to government has killed all hope of peace in Iraq.
What has it done to our country?
A democracy should have private citizens employed by the government not 'outside contractors' in responsible roles. The role of firefighter for example.
If we pay a firefighting company for the number of fires, isn't that an incentive to either set fires or do nothing to prevent fires?
If we pay mercenaries by a body count, isn't that a way of making sure no prisoners are taken and that 'collateral damage' increases?
But the greatest danger is shifting loyalty from service to a fellow citizen to merely obeying supervisors, contractual terms, and stockholder demands.
We can not expect 'outside actors' to be loyal to a democratic government system.
