Question

If we continue to privatize the Iraq War by hiring for-profit US contractors doesn't it assure prolonged war?

Answer 1

Why; did you send them an application?

Answer 2

I understand why you might think that but no, it instead ensures corruption.  

Answer 3

Well if Clinton hadn't cut the military by 650,000 service members,

We would have enough service troops to provide the services the contractors are providing.

Answer 4

Sure, but war is good for the economy.

Answer 5

There will be a military presence in Iraq as long as there is a threat to its people from within their own boundaries as well as outside their boundaries.  For that country to become a democracy, it will add much to the security of the world.  That is a very important issue at this time.  There are many things that could be done in the world to control military attacks against the U.S., but the Iraq War seems to be on the front burner currently.  Afghanistan is a close second.  Private contractors are not involved in the overall military scheme of things as being used as military soldiers or replacements.  

Answer 6

lol ur asking to put mecernaries basically in a war for money all they want is that money if the enemy offers them more they would go with them

Answer 7

No.

Answer 8

you would think. i never knew there was such a thing.........i need to read up more on them but.....it doesnt sound right private contractors are there.........and if so why are we paying so much for the war then? where are their profits coming from? tax payers?

Answer 9

It never has been about private profit, just keeping your lazy @@@@ safe!

Answer 10

You would hope the opposite would be true, a more expensive war with lot of expensive contractors would force the government to evaluate its mission there.

But who are we kidding, fiscal responsibility is not this government's strong suit.  And if in fact, there are those in the government getting rich off of this war due to their stakes in these contracting firms, then I would say, yes it does encourage them to stay longer.
