Privatizing The War In Afghanistan (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

This fall will mark 16 years of U.S. troops in Afghanistan – war in Afghanistan. America’s defense chief says we’re not winning. The Trump administration is looking for ways out of the box. One idea, with interest from Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner: hand the U.S. Afghan operation off to private contractors. Mercenaries. Let them deal. Blackwater founder Erik Prince is all for it. He’s with us today. This hour On Point: the mercenary option and Afghanistan. -- Tom Ashbrook
