US has used mercs for years to send to places that it is undesirable to send army units into. There is a department in the pentagon that handles these mercs, some mercs are contracted through bigger groups such as blackwater but most stuff is straight pentagon assignments. Loads of countries have histories of using mercs as its kept quiet and below the radar. The mercs are mostly made up of ex-spec ops. The whole point is that its secret.
tbh it doesn't bother me that there are units as a secret force internationally, we have the SAS and other special forces that do their jobs below the radar of general government ( i appreciate these are not mercs forces but general role is similar). It is concerning that they are allowed to commit any war crimes or what ever that they are doing ( not saying they are but just as it implies). More concerning is their presence in the general public in the US, but considering the US gun laws then I'd rather have trained men who know how to use their weapons correctly and safely, than a druggy or whatever.
The US defence budget is a complete joke, it is far larger than its needed to be compared to international possible threats. the US spend $532.8 billion on their defence each year compared to say Russia at 11.5bn ish.

you do realise that the US currently owes $9trillon in debt most of which is secured with their oil reserves, in contrast the uk is currently in about $1trillion of debt, the difference being that the UKs deficit per year is approx $65bn whereas the US deficit is approx $1.4bn per day, however the US currently has a large enough oil reserve to secure pretty much any debt they accumulate. This allows them to employ the mercinarys to do the "dirty work" under the radar of pretty much everyone and creates a distance between the actions and the concequences of their actions, hence why it's a stratergy that is in common place through out several middle eastern countries where the american millitary is deployed. As for the hiring of mercinarys to patrol the streets of the city at home, I feel that if that is neccesarry you really need to sort out some sort of problem there *BEFORE* attempting to sort out the problems of other countries with military force
