Hello all,

This is directed primarily at the request for a Hammes citation. (I intended to post this last week, but have been having connectivity issues.)

This has, I think, relevant Hammes thoughts (and it's online, so no need to acquire hard copies or find page numbers):

I also might look at Deborah Avant, "The Market for Force: The Consequences of Privatizing Security,"

http://www.amazon.com/Corporate-Warr...2720986&sr=1-2

or Peter Singer, "Corporate Warriors,"

Regards
Jeff

PS - Tom, I got your book from the library, and for what it's worth, am enjoying it quite a bit.
