This article is fucking weird. It's like saying, with a straight face, that the military needs to be competitive with professional-assassin pay scales if they want to hire the best killers.

I'd assume the military would have to pay more than going-rate to hire the professional assassin. It's definitely the wrong time to cheap-out.

Yes, the sub-system creation of long-term binding contracts (military) is usually not factored into free -market think at all.
