Now we're outsourcing the military, too?


If you consider Halliburton doing the troops' laundry, Blackwater
doing security, and 50,000 Peruvian mercenary fighters in Iraq, it
would seem that the US has been outsourcing the military for some
years now.


Most of the mundane has been done by civilians since the 60's.

The Beetle Bailey stuff of troops peeling potatoes, doing guard duty
and KP ended about 1965.
