Much cheaper, in the long run, than expanding the military with long-term hires (and thus long-term liabilities.)

Isn't this the point of the reserves? Should we have both the reserves and these security firms?
It bugs me that there is an incentive for currently active military people to leave, in the middle of a conflict, and go to the security firms to get more money in the short run -- and then either stay with the security firm or come back to the regular military.
