A durable solution for Africa

[Centurion1]

I still don't understand why. Why would we do this? Are we so determined to see Africa all cleaned up and proper so we don't feel bad about changing the channel on those starving child commercials anymore?

Eventually they will do something to really piss us off and we will decide hey why waste american troops and dollars lets just send in a PMC. It isn't like the mercs would even have to deal with the kind of opposition we face in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Becuase mercenaries in Afirca turn out so well

It is probably safe to say South Africa is the most stable country on the continent and they are famed for the quality and quantity of their mercenaries.

Edit: the world has a stigma against mercenary soldiers. I say get over it. Sure keep them out of normal campaigns and no need to use them to prop up our military because we lack in manpower. However, I see no issue with using them for such a purpose as what I descried. They don't have the same ethical issues and don't have to follow certain international guidelines. This isn't ancient Rome we will never be disposed by an army of mercenaries and we are different people. They aren't going to go off and rape and pillage the landscape in all honesty and most will likely behave themselves like most western soldiers.
