Very good find Donna. I wonder why TOTVs usual progressive libs haven't debunked this obviously exaggerated video report <said with tongue firmly in cheek>

Hey, I agree with almost everything in that. About the *only* quibble I have is something they left out - and I don't think it's their fault. From what I can see, at least in the 'office jobs', the government is far more cost-efficient per employee than contractors in the military. But, then, we've all heard the examples of what 'private security consultants' get versus our soldiers for the same jobs in hot zones - both paid for with tax dollars - so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this was something that was all throughout the military.

I disagree with the notion the private contactors are paid
 

more to do the same job the military does but for more $$$$. One of the very reasons the private "army" is hired is they are not subject to the same restrictions as the US military. Much more freedom to do what needs to be done without all the usual pomp and circumstance and no decision making by politically motivated only, arm chair generals.
Te beauty of their use is there is no need for reporting of what they do or don't do.....JUST GET THE JOB DONE.

None of the above infers our troops can't do the same thing....not at all. If they were given the same discretion to get the job done.....THEY WOULD DO IT.....GLADLY. The are NOT tasked to go in and win....what ever it takes....UNFORTUNATELY!!!.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
