I hate to say it...
...but I told you so...the laws regarding accountability and prosecution of miscreant mercenaries is so vague, that defense lawyers could successfully argue that BW mercs do not fall under the UCMJ, and if they did, the military is in no position to take on the additional task of investigating these cowboys, given the overwhelming task of just dealing with internal problems that we don't here much about...couple that with the immunity from prosecution by a foreign "entity", you essentially have cowboys doing what cowboys of the past used to do...kill at will, and get away with it...now, there is a bill that should pass, introduced by a Sen. Price, that will close these loopholes...who's first in line for some delicious humble pie?
