In fact, this may solve the defense industry's problem with all that inventory we're not using because of the shift towards mercenaries. I mean we left the Taliban billions of dollars worth of weapons in Afghanistan cause they were too heavy and dirty and holey and all wrong for the kinda wars we'll be fighting next time around (hint, hint: It's not in the mountains).
And then we accidentally left ISIS some stuff that one time when we actually gave it to Iraq's army first, but they ''lost'' them because you can't (1) carry the weapons, (2) tie your shoes, (3) put on your pants and (4) run at full speed at the same time.
And then there was the time we also got the Iraqi Air Force to deliver some supplies and weapons to their troops who were fighting ISIS, by parachute -- except we found out that that stuff also accidentally went to ISIS instead, like before. But again, that was an accident anybody could have made. I mean who the hell knows where the wind's gonna blow, right? What are they -- forecasters?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. And then there was that military base that ISIS got that -- yeah once again -- we also left for the Iraqi people, but I guess they didn't like the flooring and curtains or something. So they just let ISIS have it. There's no accounting for taste.
Hell, at this rate, if we can get all our old mercenaries to fighting each other, it will simultaneously increase our security, help keep Boeing, General Dynamic and GE happy and in the chips, which will allow us to buy more oil and redecorate the world with more and more plastic garbage and...... make profit on top!
