Not really news. The press has been doing "HIT" pieces on contractors for nearly 2 years now.
I shoot Table Gypsies on sight!
Robert Young Pelton wrote a good book on the subject. Its called Licensed to Kill if anyone wants to check it out. I figure we are going to endup like Rome in its later days....a bunch of mercs armies who's loyalty is to the paymaster not the sovereignty. One of these days China is going to hold a fire sale on the 10 billion USD they control....bye bye dollar...bye bye army. Congress needs to get their shit together and stop fucking with China.
I think contractors are subject to the UCMJ now:
this kinds crap always makes me angry

Contractors should not be there. This is a war, not bussines venture.

Mercs have been a part of warfare since ancient times. I think its a good thing.
'Civilian contractors' drive truck that carry food and medical supplies as well as protecting dignitaries/important fools and a bunch of other sh*t we dont hear about. Kinda like a lot of our soldiers do.

they also answer to no one, imo bad thing. Yes i know this is war, but the contractors need to answer for things they do. Do i think that the article is biased? Hell ya. Do i hate the media? hell ya. Im just stating what i think about it from what friends of mine that have been there and worked with them thought and from a former Black Water agent.
