Governments have outsourced military operations to private multinational corporations. As Jake Carpenter, a newly enlisted soldier in the Mantel army, you are seeking fulfillment and thrills by fighting for a good cause. Thanks to their high-tech arsenal of vehicles, deadly weaponry, and performance enhancing bio-medical support, the Mantel Corporation's ruthlessly efficient soldiers are the most feared by terrorists, dictators, and the corporation's political enemies."

Of course, if this is science fiction, then perhaps the corporation does have soldiers.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CommaOrHyphenPleaseAdvise/zzqdk/post.htm#446905Wed, 27 May 2009 07:17:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:446905Clive3http://www.englishforums.com/English/CommaOrHyphenPleaseAdvise/zzqdk/post.htm#446905http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-446905.xmlHi, Which sentence is grammatically correct?
