I didn't know we actually hire mercenaries.

Not unusual, at all- The campaign to re-elect these prez is spending big bucks with one of the firms mentioned in this article for unspecified security services-

Get used to it- private thugs have greater freedom of action and less accountability than real police, plus they're cheaper and more aggressive...

I used to work for company. We specialized in labor strikes. Don't even think the unions are some oppressed org. . They tend to be thugs. When the police do the job there have to be options available to the companies to protect thier assets.

I thought Bush's Private Army was the National Guardsmen who are fighting in Iraq?

Asswipe, what bodies are you speaking of? Why do people act like these contractors were just some architechts or civil engineers or doctors etc.. etc.. they were hired guns. Why are we using hired guns anyways? I thought we had a "coalition of the willing"?


P.S. The Iraqi civilians killed by our bombs are really dead... this is not Hollywood.

The bodies of Jerry Zovko and Scott Helvenston.

If you read the fvcking article you'd see who this was about...

I'd bet those two men had more class and honor in their fingernails than you do in your entire life. Those honorable men are really dead, this isn't the Al Franken show.

Whatever douchebag. You've already shown your class by prancing on about "woe is me think of the civilians!" and your little smarmy national guard comments. You'll sh!t on a dead body of a US solider just to make a jab at bush. I've got more respect for the cilivians that mutilated the bodies, at least they did it on film and will pay soon.

I understand your passion Alchy. I felt the same way when, in another thread dealing with the number of deaths, someone said "It's war...people die...get over it."

Perspective.

Oh no.... did I get under your skin.. did I make you angry and NOW YOU CAN'T FVCKING SEE STRAIGHT....

You don't know me ...

alchemize, You are just some classless douchebag who would sh!t on the dead body of a US Soldier... that is who I think you .. na na nu na na...

 

[alchemize]

Whatever Dahunan. My words speak for myself, yours speak for you.

 

[dahunan]

BTW, my reason for bringing up the men and women in the National Guard is - They should have NEVER been sent over there. I love MY people and don't want them sent to their death for this administration..

You are the one who is acting like a DRUNK ASSHOLE....

If those bodies were US Soldiers - I would be thinking much differently about this. BLackWater Mercenaries have no business being there. Iraq is still a War Zone. We should have never went in there to colonize and reform the Iraqis with blood.

A man changed of his opinion against his will is of the same opinion still.

Alchemize is a better American than Dahuman, and hence should have the right to kill Dahuman.

First, let me tone my skin brown so alchemize will feel better about it and his conscience won't bother him as much. I could even let him kill me in a lesser developed country than the US. I am sure Saint Peter will still let him in under those circumstances, right?

And hence, since they shouldn't be there, you should mock their deaths! Heck, a retired serviceman, he's asking to get smoked. practically DESERVES to get smoked, just like those Haliburton folks, right?

Hey Zephyr. Go fvck yourself.

Hey dahunan. Go fvck yourself also. Neither of you can defend your own words, so you put words in my mouth.

You think I'm being sarcastic, you imbecile?

You are one of those guys who thinks war is cool, huh?

I have NOTHING against our men and women in uniform - they are following orders and I will salute them and THEY deserve the highest respect - NOT this humiliating President.

Have you ever once in your entire life put yourself in someone elses shoes - maybe someone you disagree with?


If your own country was being attacked would you not take up arms to fight against the enemy?

Yeah, for many years now. Vinnell recruits the Army fairly heavily because of SANG and other contracts. Apparently, the practice has expanded considerably over the past few years. Check out the NPR website as there was an audio report on it today.
