Use of mercenary forces... Our military has been neutered by rules and regulations that make winning a nearly impossible task. The objective should be achieved by whatever means necessary. If that means private contractors, so be it.
“Conform to the enemy's tactics until a favorable opportunity offers; then come forth and engage in a battle that shall prove decisive.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
And to the subject of mercenaries. There is no incentive to achieve the objective.
If someone is willing to pay you a regular salary to do something and they are going to pay you that salary for however long it takes to complete the job, aren't you going to put off finishing the job for as long as possible?
Your Sun Tzu quote assumes the people he is speaking to want to win the war. Mercenaries have no incentive to try to win. Their only incentive is to keep the war going for as long as possible.
