This review is from: The Market for Force: The Consequences of Privatizing Security (Paperback)
A well researched, unbiased look at Private Security Companies (PSCs) and their importance in today's military operations. If you want a no-nonsense, accurate look at PSCs in the world today, then you must read this book.

This review is from: The Market for Force: The Consequences of Privatizing Security (Paperback)
Private Security Companys exist in the Middle East for one simple reason - The US Army and US Marine Corps ground forces have unreasonable rules of engagement. Ground commanders have the press and JAG looking over their shoulders 24/7. They are forced to be overly careful for fear that one error will end their career or even worse, land them in prison.
The result is saddly that the Army and USMC are not getting the job done in the Middle East. The DOD knows that but the administration wants results, so the Blackwater and firms like Blackwater take on more and more of the ground operations. The Army and USMC are noble service men and I totally approve of their " Code of Conduct " but this is a nasty war that needs a " nasty " approach. Avant's book provides a very educational read. I do not agree with several of her views but still, this is a must read for any career military officer. Semper Fi, R.W. Zerby doctorzerby@yahoo.com Grasse, France |
