it seems that outsourcing is being used to reduce the size of the military itself, cosmo, and is only one dimension of that reduction. rumsfeld's plan, if i remember correctly, involved at one point cutting the number of active service people across the board. maybe this desire is linked to bush's outrageous position on first use of nuclear weapons. and to the cutting of veterans benefits.
quite a pal of the military is cowboy george.
further, the idea that the private sector can or will provide infrastructure-type services better or cheaper than the state has been shown false all over the world. so maybe the only way to pull this off is to have insider, sweetheart deals between republicans?
