        "Bold"? You mean shitty. Will accomplish nothing but wasting our money and further fueling anti-American attitudes. Mercs can't be trusted.

        By "bold", do you mean "stupid", "evil", "shortsighted", "wasteful", "sure-to-create-new-generation-of-USA-hating-terrorists"? Or all of em?

        Privatizing war is dumb. It's been proven contractors are irresponsible, expensive, and too often embarrassing to USA.

        Since it is "war for hire", shouldn't our military NOT be involved? Also, shouldn't our troops decide if they want to be mercenaries?

        Hiring mercenaries seems more ill-advised than bold.
