This is a direct result of the military knowing it is being ordered to carry out war crimes. By farming the risky jobs out to "civillians" they have plausible deniability when abuses are exposed. Some gets beat to death during an interrogation? It wasnt the military (and by extension the government) it was a "civillian contractor" and thus is a simple case of murder by an individaul rather than a war crime or crime against humanity by the US military and government.
