black water is pretty sweet. a friend of mine is an ex scout sniper sergeant in the marines who signed up for blackwater and is getting 200,000k tax free as long as he stays out of the country for a full year. 200,000k a year is pretty badass in my opinion. and most of them are pretty highly trained...and since they dont follow the same rules of war that other marines and soldiers have to follow...they are pretty awesome.

I always think of Ravenwood from Jericho when I hear Blackwater. Blackwater's private air force... interesting...

Can anyone find a picture of this fighter and post it?

The aircraft looks just like the USAF's T-6 Texan II trainer aircraft. Two seats in tandem, Turbo prop powerplant but their version can be equipped with guns and weapons hard points.

I can't remember who but some comedian has a bit about everyone who greatly desires to go to war... something like this...:

"I don't see a problem with it. If they all want to kill us so badly, and as long as we're sending all of the people who want to kill people, I think we're killing all of the right people."

I was offered a position at Blackwater, but declined.

I couldn't disagree more.... I think the rules that our military follows is what sets them apart from the rest. They get the job done and they get it done with honor.
