    Mercs (erm... PSC/PMC's) are replacing large military forces on yet another front.

    My thoughts exactly. Get paid to hang around out at sea, bed and meals included, occasional target practice with moving targets... sign me up!

    I realize my OP might seem a little negative towards PMCs. Its not. In fact, I've always figured its probably what I'd end up doing after I'm done with the military, if I don't have a family by then.

    Hell...I'd go try it once. I just don't believe in warning shots. Pirates piss me off.

    It's the open sea in which there are no laws... "Pirates, if you play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes". That about sums up how I feel about it.
