I'm all for it if they can do the job.
If by employing people with disabilities for rear jobs or base side jobs to free up more able bodied members to go to the sharp end, then great.
As for civie contractors, well in OZ we have to deal with unions etc. Does slow things down a little if there is disputes over extra or extended work hours etc.
No matter wha is in the contract, there is always some bloody drama to deal with.

I know that in WWII they hired color blined people to look at intel photos. They had the advantage of not being distracted by things that would normally distract a person.
