The Royal Navy would need to bring back Press Gangs just to get enough sailors to crew them!

Plus changing all the operating manuals and signage in to British English would bankrupt the Royal Navy.

Are we renting out the military to the highest bidder? How exactly would that work?

I can think of ways to use the military to gain income, but it's not exactly a list of the most ethical methods.

US Military is way too top heavy for the force structure they have.
