Private Military Companies (catch all)

[MountainRunner]

"Special Forces provide deniable accountability."

What does that mean?

SFC W

I meant that in the margins, when seeking options that are not readily attributed back to the source and are generally covert, SF can be used effectively. In this space, private forces can also provide value, especially in the cold sense of disposability. In the overt arena, deniable accountability, that is thinking actions don't represent the principal, is a fantasy, contrary to what many may want to think. In less overt applications, such as the Balkans before Dayton, SF could have been used if deniable accountability was the real reason to use MPRI.
