Gives new meaning to "market forces." Shades of a transnational corporate military not subject to international law? Really?

No surprise here. Erik Prince has been pushing for this since Trump took office. He is very close to Trump. So is his sister Betsy DeVos (a billionaire arch neoliberal).
Trump’s “pullout” is a replacement of public troops with private mercenaries. Prince’s company (Frontier Services Group Ltd.) will occupy Syria forever, collecting billions in profits from the US government. Prince's mercenaries will complete the theft of one third of Syria (plus 80% of Syria’s oil) for the Kurds and the Israelis.
The government purchasing products or services directly from businesses is most definitely not "the market" especially when used in war.
There you go again, trying to distort and destroy the plain meaning of words.
Already happened in Iraq. The US presence has been almost completely privatized.
