or an american swine.

or both

I think my girlfriend would say I'm both sometimes.

but not a US Merc.

That's just not fair. I know, what if I go down to Rocky Point, Mexico with my SKS to protect drunk Americans? Can I be a US merc then? Please?

smart woman which would imply that you are not really an american because why would she be with you if you were an america?

now that we have established that you aren't an american, under Arch's reasoning, you are 100% qualified to be a US Merc.

Sweet. Now I can randomly shoot at people without fear of being punished. I am now above all laws.



I wonder if there's room in the van for me......

Actually no you can't.

If you were hired by America, and working in Iraq maybe, but none of you have been hired by Armerica to be a Merc.

The one thing that made this warcriminal a US Merc is what you lack.

You are not employed by the US Government.

Neither is he. The US government doesn’t cut his check. If you wanna get technical you can’t even prove that his check is being cut from the funds that the US government is currently paying the agency he’s working for, they could be paying out of bank account for previous jobs that company has done.

He takes his orders from US representatives in one way or another.

The Master he serves is the US STATE.

Then I can be a US merc afterall. I am generally a law abiding citizen, usually. So, since I obey most laws, the master I serve is the US state as well, right? Earlier you said I wasn't employed by the government, so I couldn't be a US merc, now you say I just have to take orders from them, either directly or indirectly. So it's settled, I'm a US merc. Yay.

You are not employed if you have not received orders, nor if their is no contract for your Merc services.

And neither if you are not being paid.

But since mercs are not bound by any rules, I don't have to recieve any orders or contracts, that's just red tape.

Quit being a denialist.

first rule of being a merc -ain't no rules

c'mon arch, give in already. if you don't I will see to it that every ex-foreign military man (and woman) currently employed by a foreign company, you know, every US Merc, will come a knockin until you stop calling them US mercs

The US State?
I thought the US was like 50 states or something...

I'm a Massachusetts Merc now? you guys need to clean it up....cause I need more pain killers for my brain.

"Massachusetts merc kills himself trying to get to Iraq to be a US merc"

I loved that show. They shoot thousands of rounds from a Ma Deuce and no one gets killed or even shot. They always solved the problem with no one getting hurt. I always wondered why George Peppard wore gloves all the time..

Classic 80's TV!

Yeah, and everything around was highly explosive, however nobody was ever dismembered by the huge explosions, just hurled through the air some twenty feet.

while there's no disputing the fact that B.A. Baracus was the O.M. (original merc, yo), did ya ever wonder how come he was never mistaken for being santa's sleigh jingle jangilng all them chains?

Of course there are rules, but not for US mercs in Iraq.

We gave them immunity.

As I see it your rationalization could lead to some dangerous results.

Lets say North Korea hired some Chinese Mercs and used them to attack us.

Would we then Attack China?

What if Iran hired some Arab Israeli Mercs and attacked America?

Would we then attack Israel?

If you put the shoe on the other foot for just a moment you may find that you were walking backwards your whole life.

we would attack N. Korea for hiring the mercs TO ATTACK US.

what you are now saying is that the us hired the british security firm, which has in its employ a south african mercenary, to randomly kill Iraqis. That is quite an accusation.

In reality, the US hired the firm who hired the merc who killed for his own sick twisted benefit. That is not reason to blame the boss.

when a tech support phone operator in India kills 5 people do you blame microsoft because they hired the company that employed the indian murderer? that, my friend, is what you are saying.

WIth repsect to all those who are "attacking this company" , I just want to ask this...
How many of you know that this was the same company that provided protection during the oil for food curruption enquiry?
I didnt hear any complaints then about them...I guess that means they just killed peopel quietly?

Interesting choice of words you use… However you’ve been proven wrong on multiple occasions and as I’ve stated before you’re perfectly entitled to your opinion no matter how warped it may be.

were they US Mercs then too?

I had read that. Maybe the video was made then. Would they then be UN Mercs?

If they were Mercs serving the UN that makes them UN Mercs.

If that is the case what STATE is responsible for their actions?

Is the UN itself a STATE, or not?
