When Blackwater receives orders to take your guns or your life .. Because our Military refused an unConstitutional order ... Remember how awesome they are.

I have yet to meet anyone from Iraq who considers them to be awesome. They are described as cowboys who get in the way.

Having said that, woohoo to Blackwater for being the epitome of a badass. I wish I had the military experience to work for them.
That explains a lot!

I agree. Blackwater is nothing but trouble. They may be cleaning up over in the sand but those guns could very easily be turned against us...

Interesting....I wonder what they plan to do with only one plane. You'd think a fleet of helos would be more in keeping with what they do.

My guess is, to the best of their ability, they have not prosecuted anyone who didn't break any rules.

Anyways what i had stated before wasn't meant to be said about Blackwater! It was me complaining about the U.S. prosecuting Soldiers in the Armed forces, for stuff that goes on in The War on Terror.

So ask before u blow your gasket next time.

Blake.
You seem to be the one with the blown gasket.

But I have a question before this continues ...
How many years ??

Recon? I dunno...that's a question I was going to ask myself. Personally, I do not trust them They're hired guns who will do any job as long as it pays. Their cause is money, not protection.
