US Army Hired ex-Cons as Security Guards for Bases and Other Critical Facilities

“The U.S. Army and private contractors”, says an article in the (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot, “employed convicted criminals as security guards across the country despite repeated warnings in the past three years of the ‘risky situations’ that could present, according to a new federal report.”

Your tax dollars at work, eh? Well what’s the big deal anyhow? My points are these. Government by definition is a criminal conspiracy that has and holds power by force. So hiring armed thugs as security guards is wholly in keeping with modern statist theories of government. And they are by far cheaper to deploy and maintain than the uniformed cannon fodder that is needed (by the state) for other things elsewhere.
