this is the way to go. The idea of the govt running the department of defense is a socialistic idea that doesn't fit in with a modern privatized america. The govt should contract out its military requirements to private companies. So when the US wants to go after Osama or Saddam Hussein, they should put out a contract for public bidding, give it to the lowest bidder, and then pay according to performance (did you get Osama? - no - then you didn't complete your deliverable and you get no money).
