11. Sorry, but if you, or any of your people, are making more than 50k/yr
you ARE part of the problem.

You "employ almost entirely former military service members to do that exact work" - meaning, you are taking that skill set AWAY from the military and profiting by it. Why would anyone want to stay in after 6 years, making 50K, when they can sign on with a company to do the same job making 100K?

The entire concept of privatizing the military is flawed. The fact that you make your living at it, and do your job well, doesn't change it.
