Well, if we brought back the draft, the military would have enough troops to cover things that Blackwater does. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Also, it is not like you can force SEALs and such to stay in the military past their specified recall/reserve time-the 24 month window or whatever it is after active duty-and, guess what, they want to earn a living w/ the skills the Army/Navy,etc. taught them. If you are a high end trigger puller, those are the skills you are learning in the Army/Navy/Marines-not the stuff you see in recruiting commercials.
