re: #404 BishopX

If our armed forces are incapable of doing something as simple as cooking for themselves, maybe we should consider drafting some cooks.

It’s not that simple. The troops don’t rotate most of those logistical duties on a short term basis. If soldiers are driving the trucks, that means the soldiers in that transport company are not going to be fighting.

One other useful aspect of contracting, is that it allows our supplies to be brought through countries were convoys of American troops would be unacceptable.
