: '''Yes'''It makes sense, here in America we have the free market system, any economics student can tell you it would be a perfectly logical extension of that market to open war to the lowest bidder. Instead of putting our precious youth in danger, we go to war and have an auction for which companies/mercenary groups want to fight it. The demand for war will be balanced by the supply of mercenaries to fight the war. Soon we won't even have to worry about war; we'll just set up a group akin to the FCC to make sure that various mercenary groups don't break the rules (killing thousands of innocent civilians, using nerve gas to save money, etc.) Plus, since mercenaries aren't armies, they don't have to deal with the Geneva convention or prisoners of war. Halliburton can set up an Invasion Division to take over countries with oil supplies instead of waiting for opportunities, thus growing the US economy. We're better than those countries anyways.
