From what I can see and hear the "clowns" don't take much notice of their US citizens, we wouldn't even get a look in, but that doesn't mean that we have no opinion.

For the record the US Army and Marines have no problem being detailed to the kind of services that PMC's are providing and have units that are trained to do it.

I can understand that, bigtime

I think it's a pity a few more people regardless of where they come from, didn't give it a bit of constructive thought, it's pretty obvious that no one else has. One of the problems with us ANZACS having only "pissant" armed forces is that we can't rely on technology and sheer weight of numbers, we've got to think carefully before committing our resources. Funnily enough in the past it has often enabled us to punch well above our perceived weight.
Good planning is never wasted.
