'''Reply''': that does not answer the question. The question is should the companies be allowed to send their own troops in, or should the american government ban this so that the american people are still reliant on the american military for defence.
'''Yes''' Since our military is 100% voluntary sometimes you need more people to fill vacancies. Often the mercs fill in for security details for visiting dignitaries and other positions that would normally pull some of our troops off the front line. [[User:Jrssr5|Jrssr5]] 08:35, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
