There was a time when people worked for a dollar a year when there was a war and war profiteers were thrown in jail, but not under our corporate masters.

The use of force is tied to “the king’s peace” and should be a function of government unless it is self-defense. There is too much “privatization” of government functions, and it always ends up costing too much, and is too badly done.

On one of the talking head shows the other day, someone did make mention of how profitable this war has been to these companies and how they are not going to let go of those profits. They will probably try to get “war time” profits here at home.

I respect the men and women of our armed forces who serve our country with honor and distinction. They do not choose the mission, they make the sacrifices, and when they do the wrong thing they are answerable to courts martial.

Mercenaries, however, are just hired guns who have no loyalty to our constitution or system of government. They are not protecting America or American interests, but their own.

I hope so, I really do. My Swiss ancestors made a lot of money operating mercenary pike companies during the religious wars and the Italian wars, but they didn’t pretend they were anything other that mercenaries – it insured prompt payment.
