Why Are Mercenaries Guarding U.S. Embassies?

[isick6]

If anybody thinks this is the way only private contractors act you all are ignorant. Look at the us marines videos and the us army infantry videos, there is plenty of simularities if not worse than this behavior. I know from first hand experience, i am in the us army infantry and that shit happens on a weekendly basis here.

[camp168]

I thought these pictures were from the last DNC convention!!!

[martiansurgery]

Were looking more and more like the great satan theyve always said we were

Look Were only over there to capitalize on that countries resources - if u believe ANYTHING else youre drinking the same buttcohol that these douchebags in the photo are drinking

[laurensmalter]

Omg.. What's with the friggin' poll about who's against the war in Afghanistan? Hellow!! Have you retard Americans forgotten what they did to your country, how many they'd MURDER, the planes, the buildings (in case you have forgotten!) No wonder they have to hire mercenaries.. These photo's clearly shows why Afghanistan has to be educated..

[BadBunnyRides]

So F'ing what? They were off duty and going home. They want to cut loose and have a good time BEHIND WALLS and NOT in the city where they could be seen...again, SO F'ING WHAT?!

Worse goes on in Harvard Frat Houses so give me a break.

[mistergrin]

@BadBunnyRides There's nothing wrong with partying HARD as much as you can when you're off duty, but drinking too hard may affect your performance, this isn't rocket science. You can't have a hang over the next day on the job, which isn't a desk job. I've seen this on another news which interviewed a witness from armorgroup, and the witness stated that he saw 40 guys walked off when they were on duty, they can't just do something unprofessional like that...

[BadBunnyRides]

They work 6 weeks on, 3 weeks off (they fly you home). These guys were going home the next day, they were done. There were no hookers, no drugs, no one was forced to drink, everyone was over age and no one was hurt. It got blown out of all proportion because it was "big news". Well, I call bullshit. High School graduation parties get more out of hand then this.

Can anyone here seriously say if they spent 6 weeks doing that job they wouldn't cut loose when going home?

You do your a lier.

[laurensmalter]

@mistergrin NO! If your job is to protect the US Embassy in a conflict zone, then you don't drink EVER, if they can't do that, then fucking fire them and hire dudes who can live without boose while working there, it's a fucking conflict zone! Something can go very wrong at any time!

[Crazed80sguy]

A lot of these pics and videos are being taken out of context. And this reporter is putting words in the mouths of other people. However - she is making a point, the PMCs in Iraq and the like are having more power than the Military.

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

SWINE... DISGUSTING PIGS...

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

PIGS...

[Vlasti79]

Right right, doesnt surprise me at all. Americans :-D Being stupid is way easier than being being intelligent. And you guys have the "biggest" millitary in the world. Dude I am more afraid of you guys than the Chinese.

[mistergrin]

@Vlasti79 They're not just the Americans you know... They're all from English-speaking nations.

[Vlasti79]

wtf

Blackwater renewed!!!! Obama is looking more like Bush everyday.

[xxxxdarksidexxxx]

who cares about the ONE public mercenary private company blackwater.

what about the over 3000 other private security companies that the US hires, and all americans pay for?

[imaginepeace63]

They should be all taken out of the middle east

[PennyRoyaleTea]

Oh man I am sooooo glad those pictures were taken & released. Thank god for good journalists.

[iTellYouNoLie]

the similarities to the end of the roman empire are adding up...

[topthickproducer]

This is Cheney's legacy. He contracted Halliburton to study the feasibility of using private contractors in the military, while he was Secretary of Defense for Bush Sr. To our obvious surprise! Halliburton recommended it as a SMART IDEA. The rest is history. Blackwater, Halliburton and other military contractors began to take traditional jobs from enlisted men. (At higher cost). Laundry, escorting, cooking, water and fuel procurement, etc are now no-bid contracts handed to friends of Cheney

[NUSRPKINA]

Shame on American politicians.This is real American shameful contractors. Where is going this nation with this kind of people trash!

[JixMa]

"Why Are Mercenaries Guarding U.S. Embassies?"

Um, because America has been sold out by no-good, fucking politicians that have sold their souls to and do the bidding of corporations?

[Pvtjamesryan2]

These guys have ONE wild party and MSNBC won't shut the fuck up.

GET OVER IT!!!

Do you people have no fucking life whatsoever?

[JixMa]

@Pvtjamesryan2 "These guys have ONE wild party & MSNBC won't shut the fuck up."

GOOD! And I hope they DON"T shut the fuck up about waste, fraud & abuse like THIS IS! This flagrant disregard of professional behavior while you're being paid by the US taxpayers, doesn't bother you, Pvtjamesryan2? Hmm?

"GET OVER IT!!"

Get over this blatant example (1 that was made public BTW) of a bunch or mercs partying on OUR dime? I don't think so!

"Do you people have no fucking life whatsoever?"

Do you?

[vttimwhite]

I get that men in tough places party hard when they can.

But would the Marines act like that? (I bet they could, but they're not stupid enough to get caught and filmed)

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

Really, what about abu ghraib prison??? They took the pictures them selfs. Please just shut the fuck up

[mistergrin]

@xxxxsjdxxxx Hmmm... I thought those were U.S. SOLDIERS, not the U.S. MARINES???

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

What are you talking about???

[Pvtjamesryan2]

You would not believe some of the crazy shit that goes on outside of the U.S.

Man some of these guys are fucking crazy son!! =D

I mean that in a good way. It's very fun.

Dude you got to make shit fun. It's boring as piss in Iraq. There is NOTHING to do!!!

[TheElefaunt]

yeah right those dumb rednecks

have been caught raping women in the army and not.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

What is wrong with these heterosexuals?

[phnixlady]

19 million of that budget could cover the 18-month shortfall in healthcare for poverty-stricken children in California.

[ENJOYOURMATRIXX]

those guys have sell their soul to the banksters... what else would you expect from those poor empty soul nwo tool

[rachelabombdotcom]

Oh dear! I thought Obama was going to fix all this?

It's about time she did a real story but I bet she still twisted it somehow. She turns my stomach. They never talk about the gas pipeline which is the real reason for the war. :( Never mentions Nobama's war promise that got away either, typical...

[forloveoffilm]

Then I guess you didn't see the recent interview she gave on PBS in which she expresses great disappointment in Obama and the pipeline as well.

I hope you gain more fortitude and stop allowing voices on TV to cause your gastrointestinal distress.

[rachelabombdotcom]

Rats jumping off a sinking ship comes to mind.

The entire press establishment is an insult to their professional privilege.

[mynameisbobtoo]

Because that is not the topic...see when you are not a mental defective you dont suffer from "flight of ideas" you stay focused on a topic and cover it.

You want a lot of coverage as it relates to this story, you have a computer if you are so concerned then make a video or start a Blog....or is it just easier for you to piss and moan and see faults in others while they are at work?

If you have facts make a video and have a point and offer a solution...currently you are mewing like a kitten.

[rachelabombdotcom]

lol mental defective? Oh yes let me run off and make a video, that'll help so much!

I particularly loved her coverage of the Tea Party protests. Now that was Pulitzer Prize material.

The solution is simple, I don't watch television news.

Carry on your worship...

[rachelabombdotcom]

HAHA Looks like Bohemian grove...

[RPDiesel]

Wackinhut?!?!........WTF?!?! OVER!!!!

[Squirelbutt]

vodka out of butts. ughhhh.  Thats nasty. lol

[mynameisbobtoo]

I mean it's vodka can you really make it taste any worse?

[forloveoffilm]

Men partying naked with other men does make one think that since the military has a don't ask don't tell policy, they hired a gay security organization as a work around to that policy.

Mmmmm... I just love hairy man-butt sweat in my martini.
