Personal attacks are not appreciated around here. Further, making them cast you in a bad light and weakens any valid points you might have to
contribute.
Please refrain from this childish behavior.
The majority of those "thugs" are ex-military and the majority of those are ex-special forces soldiers. Now these are the very men that lack the
intestinal fortitude to do anything. These are the very men that lack the training that a person like yourself is full of...Train us then and show us
what intestinal fortitude is!!!!!
I question the morality of anyone who would lay their loyalties in the almighty dollar while taking on a job that involves killing people.
Having morals and standing firm on them is the nature of "intestinal fortitude" to me.
By the way, I turned down a lucrative contract in a field that interests me because it was backed by military investors. I'd rather than my morality
intact than a fat bank account.
Now to answer your question as to why your government hires a company like that: War is a very ugly thing and the mechanics of such a thing isvery
messy. Now the general public doesn't have the slightest idea about the conditions these men are subjected to. As long as there is gas to put in
your SUV and you can get your Starbucks in the morning...you dont want to know. Now if you hada job to do and to do it you had to take what is black
and white witha very fine and definate line between the two and turn it into a big gray mass THAT you can deny all responsibility for...lets contract
it out. Let's lay the blame on someone else but atleast your administration can wash their hands of it.
This has never been an issue for Western Nations before.
The real reason for Blackwater involvement is that it's making some people rich. It's a new scam that the Government is using to rob the people of
their money and put it in the hands of Private Interests.
It's not needed, it's not wanted, it shouldn't be there.
As to the point about it allowing the Government to preform actions that they do not wish to be accountable for... this is the single most disgusting
element of the whole issue. In a democracy, if the masses don't want something to happen, it shouldn't happen. Right? Isn't the point Democracy and
freedom? Shouldn't that start at home with Accountability?
The CIA and other factions of the gov have done the same thing for years and havent been acused much less prosecuted.
Come again?
Haven't been accused? Are you kidding me?
You need to do some reading.
Here's a start:
Google Search: CIA Accused
You are a fool!!!
Again with the personal attack.
It really is a poor way to make a point.
I suggest you put on a uniform and go serve your country...These men are there to do a job that the gov wont let its soldiers do...so blame your gov
not the men.
You seem to have a distorted view of what Blackwater actually is responsible for. They are there to provide security. They are glorified night
watchmen with big guns. Most of what they do is protect convoys and delegates traveling outside the greenzone as well as doing back up security for
some compounds. They aren't being sent on special opps or anything like you seem to imagine.
But it is your right to be able to whine about it along with everyone else. It is easy to sit behind your pc and take the higher road and look down
on these people...Sounds a lot like some of the issues 40 yrs ago in Viet Nam.
With comments like this, I have to wonder what makes you feel certified to make them? Have you served? Have you risked anything to protect the ones
you love? Have you ever suffered for any reason in your whole life? I somehow doubt it. Suffering brings education and wisdom.
Bunch of bleeding heart cry babies...hell we can buy you a ticket and send you there and you can go give everyone a hug and maybe that will end the
war.
Grow up man...Blackwater is doing exactly what they were hired to do. And our gov can say that they had nothing to do with it.
Wow.
You really seem to believe that insulting people somehow validates your position. I regret to inform you (again) that it doesn't.
who is guilty of murder? The hitman or the person that hires him?
The hitman is guilty of Murder.
The person who hired him is guilty of conspiracy.
Should they be there...no but they wouldnt have to be if your gov would let their military do their job without the media and everyone else crying
about how it is accomplished
Again, you don't seem to understand what Blackwater does. They are not a special opps outfit. They're job is actually fairly boring... and they
don't do it very well.
As for the media, they are doing everything they can to make it seem like anything the US does is "for the good of the freeworld", yet anyone with
any intellectual capacity
at all can see that these things are being done for the good of Private Interest. This is a war being waged on the
world on behalf of a handful of rich, vile men... who In my opinion should be ferreted out and fed into woodchippers. Feet First. Slowly.
