The Corporate Coup
The U.S. has blurred the lines between soldier, cop, and contractor so completely that the only real distinction left is who signs their paychecks.
Over the past few years, the privatization of both police and military functions in the United States has gone from a paranoid dystopian talking point to a line item on the federal budget.
