Private Security Contracting

A void was created sometime between Korea and Vietnam after the United States became the kinder, caring, sensitive world police. This void is currently being filled by private security contractors across the world. Their pay is good but the system is set up so that if they are hurt their companies can leave them high and dry. They make it look like they are self-employed. Pay generally ranges from $300-$1200 a day. They have been in the news lately because they are immune from Iraq prosecution and the Iraqi people don't like them because they kill civilians. I blame the Iraqi people for being too lazy to govern themselves. War in Iraq would end if the Iraq people were patriotic and not waiting to be given everything. Until then civilians will continue to die just as every other war.
