my God, the lack of intelligent thought in this country is nauseating. Having served this country, and having close friends still serving, I can tell you what this country does is a necessary evil. war is not a good thing, but it is again unfortunately necessary. Read your history books. Thousands of years this has been the way of the world. For thousands of years there have also been "mercenaries" paid soldiers who help bolster the Armies. Many of you out there have Very short memories.

It is also perfect that ho's like Schakowsky can't get their dirty hands on Blackwater and cut funding to them. It is hilarious she is so infuriated by it though. We might have a chance of winning this war.

I hope nobody believes this crap. Blackwater is made up entirely of ex- u.s. military personnel. They're just average americans with families. I knew a guy that works for them. He did his two tours with the army in Iraq and wouldn't have gone back if Blackwater hadn't offered A WHOLE lot of money. It is a way to recycle army veterans after their official service is over and keep them fairly compensated in return.

People like you need to GET THE FUCK OFF OF YOUTUBE. People like you complain about EVERYTHING. Theres always some little bitch crying about the US troops being in the middle east, or bitching about the Police and YOU crying about mercs helping out. IF we didnt have ANY of those things what the fuck would the world be like, i can tell you what it would be like. One word, CHAOS

You guys, really are deluded. These comments border on the insane. Blackwater is a "private security company" they keep people with money alive in war zones. This is a concept as old as time.

EVERYTHING today is Fucked up, nobody is right, both sides can suck my dick, this video is great but the contents are a 2 sided story. The problem here in the USA is everyone is boo hoo hoo,until something happens to You and your family you do give a shit. everything is viewed with an undertone, nobody trusts anybody, I think all you fucks who believe this shit should just slit your wrists or move to Darfur. Americans have been brain washed for years and nothing we do is ever gonna CHANGE this !

so basically what you are saying bishop102, that your decision on whether or not to commit crime is based entirely on your financial situation rather than any morals?
