Private companies are all about the bottom line. Do you really want a bunch of people running around with guns who don't answer to anyone except their CEO?

Better yet, hows this, OUTSOURCING. K, now we have a bunch of foreign mercenaries, running around with guns, who don't answer to anyone. crazyyyy

The problem is that a private army will work for the highest bidder. I'd much rather have a soldier whos heart and soul is into protecting me for the priciples I stand for, rather then a merc who wants to fatten the wallet of his corporate superior. It's all about greed man, people are crazy these days.
