You're right, it is much more important to use government money stolen from taxpayers to fund these huge welfare states that are all the rage across Europe and with some here in the U.S. What was I thinking?

Here's a quick lesson on the military for you. For every job in garrision that a military member is required to perform full time (cooks, network administrators, etc.), that is one less person that can devote his full attention to training for and fighting wars. This is why there is an effort to move these kinds of jobs over to contractors. Besides, a Marine who is running the network also has many other things that he is required to do as a Marine that takes away from him being most effective in that networking job.

Hiring contractors is a no brainer for these types of things.
