Blatham, your point illustrates a grave concern I have about the increasing privation of traditionally military forces. Contracting out with private companied (mercenaries?) do fight or to provide security which involves fighting may lead to marketing conflict and wars. After all, these companies won't survive financially unless there are conflicts and wars for them to bid on. This conflict of interest (for a peaceful world) may have unintended consequences that we should be concerned about.
If we think the military-industrial complex has inordinate power over our government, then think about the potential for mischief created by such independent contracts. They also might be beyond the reach of our laws to control them.

Craven, I've noticed during the last week that in some of my posts certain words, after the post is made, appear in green underlined. When clicking on that green word, it leads to a commerical ad. In the above post, the word is "security." I suspect that it is somehow connected with my firewall protection program.
Do you know what causes this? How can I prevent this so links to business ads do not occur. Is this happening in other people's posts?

p.s. You will notice that the word "firewall" became underlined and in green in this post.
