After 9/11, the government chose to outsource many military duties instead of utilizing the actual military to do these duties. By 2007, there were more contractors than members of the military in Iraq
Because we needed the actual military to do actual military things, why have combat able troops doing basic noncombat roles that can be outsourced to contractors?
quote:
Your own source says contractors were training military forces, conducting intelligence activities, defending Army bases and clearing mines. Calling that merely “standard guard/policing duty” is inconsistent with the source you just quoted.
Jesus Christ. Those are all jobs that contractors can do. None of those are beyond “standard guard/policing duty” in the context I used it in. Those are non combat roles that can absolutely be managed by contractors.

I can understand using 9/11 to justify expanding the military, but not outsourcing the military.
Here is a very non-right wing source who can explain it quite well. You see, they weren’t outsourcing the military to PMCs… they were outsourcing standard guard/policing duty to PMCS….
Oh……. And of course they also will tell you exactly why the expansion started in 2001 under W.
Spoiler alert……. 9/11 is the cause.

After the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the U.S. government used the services of several PMCs in order to train local police and military forces and control the movement of goods and intelligence activities. Private security guards were responsible for the security of foreign targets in Afghanistan, as their employees did not trust the local police. This caused great resentment among the local authorities, who accused the PMCs of criminal behavior. Before the world heard about the Wagner Group, Blackwater was the most well-known PMC. In September 2005, the U.S. government enlisted the help of Blackwater to eliminate the effects of Hurricane Katrina. About 200 of its employees were flown into the disaster area, an operation that cost the U.S. government $240,000 per day. This PMCs “finest hour,” however, was the war in Iraq. In December 2006, the U.S. Department of Defense employed at least 100,000 contract workers, 10 times more than the number of civilians hired during the Gulf War. The scope of activities carried out by private companies ranged from catering services to armed defense of U.S. Army bases, mine clearance and the destruction of unexploded munitions. Blackwater received authorization to have 1,020 employees in Iraq. Among other responsibilities, it was tasked with protecting the U.S. Embassy.

You said 9/11 caused the privatization of the military and then started cackling about the Patriot Act. I don't follow your logic.
9/11 was the direct cause of the expansion of PMCs and military contractors, especially under W. Like. That is undeniable. That is simply a cold hard fact.
We were at peace. 9/11 happens. And shite hits the fan. Directly leading to the expansion of PMCs and military contractors.
I said, what’s next. As in, what are you going to say next. Are you going to say that the patriot act wasn’t caused by 9/11?
Acting like 9/11 wasn’t the cause of A is as dumb as an argument as B.
Of course you would say 9/11 caused the patriot act. Because it did. So why are you sitting here acting like 9/11 WASN’T the cause of the expansion of military contractors under W? It is clear as day that is the primary and direct cause.
Again. Super super super easy to follow.

you're not even attempting coherence.
Says the person who thinks 9/11 wasn’t the primary cause of the expansion of PMCs and military contractors from 2000-2008.
And, pray tell, what was incoherent about my statement?
What’s next, the abomination that is the patriot act wasn’t caused by 9/11?
