We've already deployed most of the reserves. The cupboard is bare.

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.

I guess I haven't seen anything that suggests that this is happening to a meaningful level. I'm guessing that the people they get out of the military are the ones who wouldn't have been enticed by the re-enlistment incentives, but for whom the bigger bucks are enough to make the difference.
