Because they never do it right, and because we need everyone in a combat zone to be combat ready.

Think of the Battle of the Bulge. Think of the defense put up by clerk typists, by cooks, by quartermasters. They were only able to do that because they were part of the military.

Given the massive inflation of charges from the contractors that we’ve seen, I don’t think there’s any way we can claim it saves us money.

The profit motive that contractors runs by doesn’t value the lives of soldiers very highly.
