Interests

My issue mainly involves three interest groups, national governments looking to lessen the weight of military incursions, private military companies looking to create a viable business based on the contracting of security, and the public of each state involved, whether they are the state paying for the military action of the state benefiting from the action. Interests that should be involved yet aren’t to the extent that they should be are those of government oversight panels and committees that would ensure the proper conduct of private military companies overseas. These groups need to achieve higher degree of involvement in order to sell private military companies as being safe and effective. The involvement of my classmates in the issue would be an involvement in the form of either supporting or not supporting the use of private military companies. My fellow classmates could become more highly versed in the troubles throughout the world such as Darfur or even localized areas in Iraq that would benefit from private military intervention. As of right now I feel people my age or younger are not involved merely due to their lack of a need to be involved, I feel that with time and age more of them shall be driven to take up cause which they feel deserve their time and energy.
