Mercenaries the future of warfare?

[Jobu88]

Yes the Blackwater experience in Iraq comes the closest I think to being "mercenaries" & has not exactly been a huge success. Granted Iraq is / was such a complicated setting I don't think its' all Blackwater's fault.

I think there's still probably a role for mercenaries in the world, but not as part of anything that the US or NATO or etc are involved in. Too much liability for not enough return.
