Hello,
I firmly support S.1428 - Stop Outsourcing Security Act. I believe, and Constitutionally, that it is the sole responsibility of Congress to raise and maintain and army. Private Contracting for military purposes should be banned and all military function should stay in-house.
Sincerely,
Michael Shipman
