Yeah, I know. Letting the private sector compete with the Government, following the Constitution, etc. is soooo eighteenth-century. And the Founders? Hell, they had no clue how to properly "govern" a "modern democracy."
Only the Government can save us now!

Did you forget about that little thing called the Geneva Conventions that we are signatories to and the anti-war crowd keeps throwing about?
Mercenaries are against the Geneva Conventions in war.
Doesn’t Paul support the Geneva Conventions?
For such a constitutionalist, he even misses that the Letters of Marque and Reprisal written into the constitution were not for the president to issue, but for congress.
And again, there is that little matter of those danged Geneva Conventions.
