Tity,
Despite what you govn indoctrinators might have taught you competition and cooperation aren't synonyms.
And the point that I was getting at is this is prime example of how the private sector being innovative can do something much better than our govn with all our tax dollars ever could. Any job that can be done in the private sector should be. We shouldn't have to give 500 billion (solyndra) in tax dollars to companies to promote a specific philosophy. Then have their entire board simply plead the 5th after filing chapter 9. But what do I know.

I agree. We should bring our military troops home to protect our borders, save some cash, and let the private "defense" contractors continue the work of securing foreign oil supplies overseas.
Do you really want the oil corps to run their own private militaries?
As varus suggests, if we ramp up domestic productivity, we wouldn't even need to occupy half the world anymore - so we can do away with those entities as well!
Natural resources will always be in demand. Just because we develop ours doesn't mean we won't need others sources as well.
