And I'm guessing you are in the military or were, and I thank you for your service. I too am prior military and met some of thes "renta-cops". They were, in fact, just a bunch of arrogant thugs with no oversight and were immune from all American law. I was in Lebanon, and we stayed away from these jerks. They are not good for the country. My faith is in our "real" troops.

When will people realize that these jerks aren't any better than the enemy that we are fighting? Blackwater members are truly csum.

im guessing your basing your statements on the fact that you know lots of people who work for Blackwater or similiar companies? Because I have met plenty of private contractors when I was in Iraq and afghanistan and they were all very professional and very patriotic people.

Sorry no sympathy here at all. When you embrace evil you have to live with the consequences.

Sorry folks, but it's all about "Money For Blood!" The USA is dying from this disease! Money...money...money!

What about the One Million Iraqi deaths!

Yep, Contractors know the risk, they have choices whether to go on missions or not due to the fact they are civilians... you know what I'm sick of this, PEOPLE! Grow up, Life isnt a fantasy world, people are killed, you lose people, people will fight and someone gets to lose and someone gets to win, its that simple. Get over it! Harsh? Maybe but thats the case, and the soil we live on requires blood. This is heaven compared to someplaces, so sit down and shut up or stand up and be productive.

ok do you even know one thing about the mercenary line of work. yea the companies are there to make money but so are the mercs. an entry level position pays a minimum of 100 thousand dollars a year which is tax free and paid in cash. half before and half after. NOBODY SHOULD BE RUNNING THEIR MOUTHS ABOUT MERCS. THEY DO THE JOBS AMERICANS SAY ARE TO DANGEROUS FOR THEIR KIDS TO DO.
