Blackwater is doing the job that U.S. forces should be doing. Mercenaries not welcomed.

Blackwater is paying our ex-military to go back into combat.

After ten years of service an enlisted grunt makes less than 60k. Blackwater offers these men six figures, shortened deployments, and better training (Blackwater trains our military to boot, got to participate in some while still in the service).

Mercenaries, yes. But in a organization that is was formed and is run by ex United States military members.

It's called outsourcing. Most major corporations do this and it is considered a smart financial move as well. The military has rules and age limits for active combat operations limiting your term of service. Also, unlike some disgruntled service members who freely raised thier right hands to protect and defend (and now complain), Blackwater guys are PAID to do the job. Whether they like dislike Obama, Bush or others, they still have a job to do and th...
