Good for him. Take an opportunity to escape when it presents itself instead of cowering in fear. Good man.

Screw him. He knew the risk. He had it coming, and if he was armed, he was no "contractor" - he was a mercenary.

Yeah thats one thing they DO NOT talk about . All the Mercs over there. I my brothers friend sent a letter and he talked aBbout it being lots of Mercs more than the native police force. TW he also said it some places where when you step on the ground you will make little oil puddles, i thought that was cool at least.

Regardless, I wonder if the actual mercenaries hired by us carry arms that normally would not be available here for the general public?

I'd love to try some of those high tech weapons.

They generally have nothing more than full auto versions of weapons that you could buy here as a civillian/non-leo. THe M-4 with a bunch of high tech gizmos such as Aimpoints is the mos popular. Security contractors in Iraq also have vehicle and fixed position mounted heavy machine guns.

IIRC, he's used to be a farmer and was working as a truck driver for crying out loud. What mercenary????

Glad to hear he is safe. I wonder if they stopped guarding him on purpose or if he really escaped?

His wife should be very pleased, but what is this about him going back to work? Good grief, I'd be outta' there in a heartbeat. :)

Sounds like his capturs heard the Convoy coming and split.

He should go back to Mississipi and get that Farm going full tilt. We are afterall obviosuly suffering from a Nationwide shortage of milk.
Bout time we start concentrating on ourselves here.

Great news for himself and his family! Can't even imagine what that must have been like for his wife. What men will do to provide for the family.
