Mercenaries

There is no role for mercenaries in a representative republic such as ours. Nor should we have an all professional volunteer military. We need a universal draft military as an antidote to the insane warmongering of the military industrial fascist complex that we now see developing in our country and in the world.

And privatization of government functions is the is the domestic policy side of that same coin.
