Description
Privatized Military Firms have quickly become a major part of the U.S. armed forces. The U.S. Government has turned more to Privatized Military Firms to provide security personnel to supplement diminished military recruitment. These armed civilians often resemble soldiers in their scope, armament and deployment yet are deficient in terms of accountability, responsibility and legitimacy. It is my contention the United States' use of Privatized Military Firms, in any context, constitutes an attack on everything the U.S. holds dear. Therefore, through appeal to news articles pertaining to the subject, I will argue the use of Privatized Military Firms must be stopped because they are a detriment to the U.S. Military; the employees who work for them and U.S. Governmental strength. After laying out these tenants it will become evident the best way to protect the United States from attack does not, in any way, involve Privatized Military Firms.
