Don't Let Obama Find Out About This

I don't know about this one. If Obama finds out, he might give them money, then take them over, fire the CEO and have his own private army, or something. Well, it's a thought, any way.

So I spent most of the weekend with several Marines (not an uncommon occurrence), one of whom isn’t re-enlisting and has been trained extensively as Scout Sniper and Force Recon. What are his intentions, you ask? Military contractor. It doesn’t matter which one, DynCorp, Aegis, or what was once Blackwater. They’re all the same, in my estimation. They pay more for services, they issue better body armor, they issue better weapons, and they do little to no real training of their hires. They rely on the training done by the U.S. military.

This is a distinct possibility for the oncoming downfall of the Republic - several competing private armies owned by various corporate and political interests, all with the best high-tech gear.

I think your Marine friend needs to review his discharge paperwork with special attention to the "no compete" clause.
