Even with the bonus pays and tax free the Army pay couldn't touch the $100,000 tax free pays going to PMCs.

Blackwater lured your NCOs away, but Blackwater didn’t groom them. Without the institution of the Army, there would have been no experience base for Blackwater to purchase. The Army can’t produce seasoned veterans out of thin air no matter how much money Congress might decide to spend, and neither can Blackwater or anyone else. Money like what Blackwater was willing to spend can help shift existing assets around, but it can’t grow those assets without the additional inputs of time and experience.
