'Academi' of War: Blackwater back in Iraq for a little greenback

[federal401]

@phrox It's straight, not strait. I don't want my tax dollars going to contractors in the middle east. I want my tax dollars being put to better use.

[Pray4waves76]

As an American I couldnt be more proud of a group so awesome as these guys. they are true heroes and I thank them for their bravery :)

[secarver95]

you fucking shitheads that hate on the pmc's can go fuck yourselves they're not some sadistic bastards that enjoy killing their just ex sf and badasses that have trouble adjusting to civillan life and need to keep their foot in the door, Guess that's what happens when you give up having a normal life for your country.They dont rape people, in a few years i will either be in with them or in the ground.

[swan6807]

Fuck off lovecraftis1

[1975acidburn]

The people complaining about military and contractors being in Iraq are in neither one. Stop speaking up for the military or contractors unless you are one. But instead your home doing nothing for this country or any other. You people. I nothing of combat or being in Iraq. I have deployed and was in combat, and have performed humanitarian missions and also worked with contractors in rebuilding Iraq. But unless you have taken part in it you shouldn't complain.

[1975acidburn]

How do you contact Academi for jobs in Iraq. Can not find website or anything besides articles on the company.

[ghostrider1152]

1:01 is actually ArmorGroup's video..

BLACKWATER BACK IN IRAQ !!!

[McMeevin]

Academi - Praetorian - SS

[TheUtf88]

I Support The New Academi and whoever does not support or approve there honest work is anti-american.

[federal401]

@TheUtf88 You're a fool. These contractors drain tax payers of hundred-millions of dollars. To support them would be un-American.

[phrox]

@federal401 They may make more "individually" (honestly military should be getting this kind of pay), but to train, support, feed, and house 1 troop is more costly on the government in the long run vs a contractor. Get your facts strait.

[Juppie902]

@federal401 I'm glad i'm not american. In fact, I want to be a private security contractor myself ;)

Don't care if I die while earning money, got nothing in life to lose.

Good luck in paying for my paychecks in the far future.

[federal401]

@Juppie902 Oh, so then you probably have not noticed that America has different states. I'm in support of "Constitutional Sheriffs," for they can nullify the unconstitutional encroachment of the federal government by protecting their citizens. I won't pay into an unconstitutional, illegal war with my tax money, nor shall I pay contractors to help rebuild a country overseas that will never be. Good luck with becoming a contractor; I'll surely defund it.

[brwneyesaz]

@marvenetta - Academi not Academy.

[volfan121]

You hippies never change if you want the troops to leave then we need PMC to be in there to keep aiding and training the Iraq soldiers, if you don't want them in there then are troops cant leave.

[altgeldrarities]

Destroy, rebuild, and enslave with debt and corrupt D.C. style corporate government oppression.

[TheBlackSedan]

People in Iraq had been forging their own destiny for thousands of years without the help of American bombs, missiles and bullets. Far from an unbroken line from the colonists who overthrew an empire in the 18th century, America’s ruling elite in the 21st century embarked upon naked colonial-style wars aimed at imposing US hegemony over the world’s key energy producing regions of the Persian Gulf and Central Asia.

[fireboyburnaby]

@TheBlackSedan Not that I agree with you, but that was a very well written, to the point statement. Very powerful, and concise. Cheers.

[vinceteller]

come'on u fellows killed the 'Indians' ,'charly' in the Mecon delta ,Saddam , Bin Slatten and now it is that Syrian clowns turn ' , after that please clean 'the plate' in Iran , god luck.

[straighter100]

mmm, i think these dudes are pretty smart, they got money on the mind and are pretty aggressive in the security market. *impressed*

[massivemak]

thise are the bastards that rape civilian children and sell them as prostitutes fucking bastards will all be killed like dogs and burned hanging from towers like in felluga Thank God for that Great day.

[phrox]

@massivemak It's "Fallujah". Learn to spell you un-American POS.

[Jevezy]

BS nothing but BS, Blackwater aka XE aka Academi have not changed, they are still the wolves in sheep's clothing. They are not to be trusted, Iraq should not allow them back in their country. They are a bunch of crooked, cruel, lawless mercenaries who are not be trusted.

[BadMuther]

Wow, some non-spelling anti-american bitches whining on here. Yep, America keeps the world safe so you can whine. Your welcome. Bitches.

[madtrade]

@BadMuther

safe from what ?

you killing america from the inside

you have the biggest population in prison

you live like shit

you are obese and clueless

and you sending money to the zionist

and china just bought you

hahaha the only thing you are protected from is a goold old brain who can think

[vinceteller]

@madtrade how long did it take u to make that conclusion , personally I got it all ' when I was about 16 but hey better late than never ! PEACE

[countypolk863]

BlackWater Americants number one Pride. You so proud of ur nation arent you, land of the brave lmao

[sciences8]

@countypolk863

I think being a mercenary is rather brave...

Is being an idiot as fun as it sounds? I've always wanted to try.

[MaleAdaptor]

Each and ever one of them should be executed.



[khanite1]

atleast taliban get 2 take pot shots at nignog

[rjd8309]

bla bla cut the shit and kick off ww3 already! its getting sickening

[ianjohn05]

Question. Who is going to fund these Defense contractors? The US Taxpayer? If that is the case then is US really leaving Iraq?

[Tr0mbi]

And you can know with a fact these guys are HARDCORE. Muslim terrorists don't fuck with black water :))

[Jasminewynja]

@Tr0mbi Academi is nothing but thugs, hillibillies with guns. They are insurgents and should be treated as such, in the US American manner. Take them away from their families, cage them up in small cages, deny them human rights, deny them a fair trial, torture them and keep them in the cages for eternity. That's justice according to Bush.

They are not hardcore. They wre wuzzes, whimps, who prefere to kill unarmed civilans. They are criminal terrorists and their lifes are worth nothing

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

couple hours ago they said the war is over , looks like there is some dirty work to take care of

[TS0G0]

Those Blackwater so called mercenaries are all used to be US Army soldiers!

When they killed civilians, doing all that insane massacres that's all in their habits got from the Army! Army always hides the real truth from spreading! So much unknown atrocities, war-crimes done by the USA! And all that is in their own interests!

Every other previous wars all started and done by USA including Korean war, Vietnam war, war in Yugoslavia and other wars in between!

[arga400]

@TS0G0 korea? north korea OBVIOUSLY started that war and OBVIOUSLY we did the right thing to intervene if we hadnt south korea would be part of that shithole

[madtrade]

@arga400 south korea started it moron

damn you are so stupid how the fuck can you breath ? do you plan it or something ?

i cant believe you have a brain

it's only muscular imo

[TS0G0]

She said IRAN..at the beginning!

[00YEV00]

Killing civilians is way too profitable business nowadays to give up this piece of cake easily.

[Roofius2]

Blackwater ans usa army = jewish terror

[JJbones88]

A privately owned army/special forces group isn't important when the government run army is just as unaccountable. First make the people run army accountable to the people like it was meant to be, then take out the private one. The way things stand now it's apples to oranges. People don't like BW because people feel they have to answer to no law, well neither does 'the law' itself...let's change that! Ron Paul 2012!

[Y0UT00B3R1]

@moontang ...You're a fucking useful idiot. I'm not talking about every single news organization in the world, only RT. I see nothing wrong or uneven about a Blackwater re-branding comparison to a regime mouthpiece "news" channel's (...RUSSIAToday...) name change (..."RT"...) re-branding effort to distance itself from a government infamous for killing whoever the fuck they want...a.k.a...The Kremlin? Dolt.

[wahahn]

There will be plenty of work for them in America when martial law is implemented by our tyrannical government....

[ImperatorKuzco]

Tyrus was a citystate from 1530 B.C. up to and including 537 B.C..

[ImperatorKuzco]

Tyre is the city in the ancient world of Tyrus.

[ImperatorKuzco]

I, the emperor, order the Russian ship at Ulucinar to move to Tyre.

[ImperatorKuzco]

Where did they go?

[ImperatorKuzco]

Who?

[ImperatorKuzco]

When?

[ImperatorKuzco]

I, the emperor, order Russia Today to send a crew to Benghazi in order to investigate the uprising of the Libyan people against the rebels. I order the Chinsese government to send government personel for a visit to Tripoli to gather as much information as possible about the possibilities of advances to Misurata, Benghazi or elsewhere.

[ImperatorKuzco]

Just a wild guess...

[oicub2]

I don't understand why Nobody is dealing with this legally ..

the fact that this can even happen only proves to me that the whole fucken government is just a BiG Fat Fucken lie ..a Really big fat fucken lie .. the only truth thats out there is that this is all bullshit .. All of it .. jfk ,y2k ,sept 11 ,bp ,fukushima ,global warming ,the moon landing , ya , right back to the fake fucken moon landing & even farther than that ..

i can't beleive anything that comes outta this box anymore ..

[arga400]

@oicub2 yes cuz if the moon landing was fake the soviets would had never found out and humiliated the united states on it give me a breeeeeeeeeeeeak

[Cheyemos]

@oicub2 I 100% agree on everything that you just stated, isn't it amazing that people can't see behind the 'curtain' too see what's REALLY going on?!

[a55kika18]

One has to wonder...Who are the right soldiers? The 'Iraq army' or the freedom fighters?

[g3seifert]

Private contractors or mercs in war, no shit! War is about killing, not delivering roses people! Killing is expected and no body should ever complain unless it's being done on u.s. Citizens!

[Jasminewynja]

@g3seifert They are nothing but thugs, insurgents, and should be treated as such.

[g3seifert]

@Jasminewynja Yeah, and the same could be said for every gang in america, also the U.S. politicians, and the Union Jobs (which every job is a union bc you have a network of workers), oh yeah did I mention other countries citizens because they are always trying to beat each other out for more power in their society!

[Jasminewynja]

@g3seifert The Union does not murder people, Academi does. Big differense.

"People die bc it is war, Get over it"

Aha, that's what you tell the families of the wictims for 9/11? You tell them: "People die bc it is war, Get over it"?

"If you dont want them in your country dont fuck up"

That wont help a thing when the governments of US "fucks up" all the time. First Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Libya and now they are doing everything they can to "fuck up" again, against Iran.

[g3seifert]

@Jasminewynja secondly, black water is only one of many who are out there! Other Countries have these types of "thugs, and insurgents also" War is war. People die bc it is war, Get over it. If you dont want them in your country dont fuck up, and tell your gov. to just give up peacefully. War isnt for the weak, and the weak people can easily be seen on here bitching and crying.

[DangerousDan77777]

@g3seifert Would you destroy one million innocent children to steal oil and opium, etc.? Most people thought the war was to get saddam or the wmd the usa sold him.

Depleted uranium is even killing british and american soldiers, why would anyone want to harm someone who has done them no wrong?

[Daydream2142]

Jeremy Scahill will go apeshit again as he should.

[g3seifert]

Any contractor can leave to go to any other security job! It doesn't mean black water is the only contractor out there, I'm sure there are other groups that people don't even know about! Secondly I don't believe they killed alot of civilians, it's war people! Shit happens, and people die! Get over this drama America and go back to shopping on the Internet or malls! If I had a vehicle closing in on my convoy I would also shoot some warning shot as the escalation of force rules require!

[macklen2]

By the way, american soldiers... why don't you ask a Blackwater 'contractor' how much they make a year, then listen to what Henry Kissinger said about you the regular armed forces?

[macklen2]

Hmm, back for another round of the infamous 'Blackwater Special' huh? You know, being beaten and burned like a dog, then dragged thru the streets and finally hung from a bridge like a scarecrow?

Nah, seriously, when did America become Mordor?

[SovetskieSoldat]

I would love to skin them alive. First rape their daughters and wives, skin their wives and children in front of them and then torture them. Then kill them when i am done pleasuring myself.

[magpieking]

Changing their name to academi yet still releasing a shit video game under the title of "Blackwater"?

That's weird.

Maybe they realised that anyone stupid enough to buy the game won't remember all the civilian killing.

[AqqleHD]

Blackwater arnt mercenary, they are a PMC or Private Contractors

[rh1507]

Right. no matter what there name they...Blackwater have been thugs for cash. My own nation for reasons I can't imagine have screwed up another for its short term gain. Oil is what I see why the Corporate ran government of the States have gone in to Iraq. Afghanistan I think this is a thing to surround Russia and perhaps China for whatever they think that will get them. There is I see an always present dark side to what the corporate ran D.C. does. Not why my nation is to stand for. Money is evil

[INatalkaI]

Sean Thomas better watch his back, these killers don't mess around.

[TheDar666]

private war ! $= 666 hahaha!!!

[MakesMeAngry]

More Christianic terrorism. Change you dog fucking Obama cock suckers can believe in.

[Denomolise]

@UltmtSniper Everyone in the military is getting paid by the same people to fight the same war, does that make every soldier a mercenary?

[Denomolise]

Mercenary:a professional soldier hired to serve in a "foreign" army.

[Y0UT00B3R1]

@TheRedLaura Oh, come now...Nothing you've mentioned has anything to do with me. I see you still fail to understand. I neither work for or own Blackwater. The "american pro[p]aganda machine" is not 'mine', and I've never personally condoned or approved any U.S. 'invasions'. I do me, and am ONLY accountable for my own actions. That's like me holding you accountable for Omar Hayssam's or Ion Antonescu's faults, or anything ever broadcast on Televiziunea Română...which would be stupid...

[Y0UT00B3R1]

...I have absolutely NO problems with Iraqis or Iranians, the vast majority of Russians, or even Romanians. My point is only, precisely, what it has always been...RT/RussiaToday as an organization that has re-branded itself, in efforts to deceptively distance themselves from their creator and source of funding, The Kremlin; is no better than Blackwater/XE/Academi, or anyone else, doing the exact same thing...New same, same shit, different day.

[Y0UT00B3R1]

@Judeschwein88 卐88卐 Haha...go FUCK yo'self, you honky-ass-CRACKA!! 卐88卐

[tylerrepotter]

US troops were working for like 2000 a month, while these guys were there making four times as much. No matter what you call them, everyone knows what they are.

[Denomolise]

@tylerrepotter These guys are U.S. Troops, you can't joins unless you've done time in the military. Washington uses them cause they don't have to report their numbers and if they do do something fucked up like they have in the past the scum in Washington can always say " Hey they are not U.S. soldiers anymore therefore we are not responsible for their actions" and they get labeled as mercenaries.

[Pedenergy]

am I the only 1 that can tell that Russa Today is a fake newscast? they got the graphics on the screen and everything, but it's not a real news station. they hire people that arent reporters, but to speak english. would you listen to a guy with a thick russian accent is he was on there? Nope. Its a weekend update. Fake!

[Has1b]

A god investment opportunity for even us ppl.

Iraq dinar was worth 3x the American dollar before the gulf war. So was the Kuwaiti Dinar. After the Gulf war the Kuwaiti Dinar was worth 10 cents American, and now? The Kuwaiti Dinar is back up to around 3x the price of the American dollar. Iraq is still a resourceful country with plenty of room to rebound now that their done bombing it, if you buy 1 million Iraqi dinars today (costs about a grand), who knows, it might make you a millionaire 2020.

[Denomolise]

1:)They are not mercenaries if they only work for the country they originated from FuckTards. Look up the definition of the word Mercenary.

2:) They are just an private branch of the US military used to carry out controversial missions so that ScumBag politicians can maintain plausible deniabililty.

[swanson01john]

@Denomolise --What a dumn shit,you do not know anything.

[Denomolise]

@swanson01john I live near Blackwater Dipshit and have friends that work for them. You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. By calling them mercenaries you alleviate the responsibility of those in Washington that hire them. Get a dictionary and look up the definition of the word mercenary. They only work for the U.S. government.

[ThunderDog97]

Change the name all you want, but it doesn't change the truth that these are mercenaries and war criminals.

[DangerousDan77777]

Am very, very, very ashamed by what is being done in "our" name.

[TheVirtualStoa]

"The Obama administration awarded Academi a $250 million contract to work for the U.S. State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan...."

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Welcome to the fascist states of amerika. I'm warning your Russia and China, you're next. If the nazis are allowed to conquer the middle east to steal all of the oil supplies, you are all next in line.

[louloub5]

army should NOT be privately owned! it should be made illegal...

[swanson01john]

@louloub5 --At least they will be able to get info with out kissing any bodys ass,and half to worry about it.Of course there will be no reason for that now HUH.

[DickCheneyXX]

The video at 1:02 is a fraud. It was NOT Blackwater but drunks working for a British security company.

RT is blaming Fox for showing videos of Athene in their Moscow coverage then turn around and do this... 

[DickCheneyXX]

BlackWater rocks. The Ruskies are just mad because no one wants of their mercenaries.

[hoosierhiver]

Corporate armies, if that isn't fascism I don't know what is.

[TheBlackSedan]

This is blatant imperialism and spoil of war.

[BorinquenTechTV]

is not just blackwater,there are hundreds of mercenaries groups doing the dirty work

[shahzadazulfiqar1]

Time has proved it ,no black or white forces can make america a victorious in IRAQ N AFGHAN war.

[shahzadazulfiqar1]

america is black spot over world peace due to n.y jews.

[belfasta]

i hope the iraq people wake up to this and give blackwater executioners karma

[thelegionary1000]

For all that finished their contract with US army and French foreign legion the oportunity of remaining killers is blackwater. Blackwater may change its name from killers to mercenaries. It's like the wolf changes its coat but not its habits. Go figure!

[schlagerhansi]

Oh, come on, RT, those persons who comitted the massacre, are no longer employed by Blackwater a.k.a. Academi, are they?

[RockyMountainPrepper]

Great.........

[theartist53]

Blackwater spells EVIL, no matter what title they go under.

[trincotactical]

"blackwater vs. blackflags of Khorasan"

who will win? u do the math...

The Taliban?

[shaneclone15]

So why did they go iraq again?

[shahzadazulfiqar1]

@shaneclone15 To make a failure attempt to win a loosed war.

[haveahorst]

I heard a rumor that Blackwater Mercanaries are all gay and that is totaly ok with me but stop acting like you are tough cause your not.

[Mastirshake]

when blackwater gets picked off and killed, please dont report on these deaths, we really dont care, we only care about our troops, our children, not these murders

[khanite1]

get 2 take pot shots at slave n!ggers

[Blondewithtools]

Oh great another future Al-Quieda

[Y0UT00B3R1]

I just find it quite interesting that one shady-ass-fuckin "organization" with their own BULLshit to hide, like "RT"; always goes out of their way to expose other organization's re-branding efforts to do the same. Obvious hypocrite is obvious. RT=Russian Propaganda Fuckery...

[vengencefrom1979]

@Y0UT00B3R1 i find it interesting that with the history of the u.s. and its dozen or so wars of expansionism neo-cons are still thinking they can fool the american people one more time. rearing up to defend mercinaries is almost ludicrous.

[moontang]

@Y0UT00B3R1 you're a fucking idiot. almost every single news organization in the world has rebranded, the older ones multiple times.

And you're comparing a news channel name change to the rebranding of a mercenary company infamous for killing whoever the fuck they want?

degenerate cretin.

[Y0UT00B3R1]

@TheRedLaura ...sorry to say, you've disclosed nothing groundbreaking...you completely miss my point, perhaps intentionally; so, don't even worry about it. RUSSIAToday "rebranded" 'RT', it's hoping to bury its Kremlin affiliation, while turning a few useful idiots. That's all.

[TheRedLaura]

@Y0UT00B3R1 So what exactly is your point ?

That RT should not show Blackwater contractors going to Irak again?

I don't trust Russia, and even less i trust russia propaganda machine, but i have no reason to trust your american proaganda machine either : CNN, CBS, Fox and the rest of the mass-brainwashing mechanisms you use all over the world.

You are no better then russians, and judging by the number of nations you invaded you are in fact much worse.

Audiatur et altera pars .

[ibislee]

[LostFREEDOM]

Bullshit corruption

[longgoodbyeIreland]

Iraq has been devastated by 30 years of war , and America was behind it all , has the Iraqi government no conscience , to allow these war criminals back into Iraq , hopefully the insurgents can kill them all !

[br0dskalk]

@longgoodbyeIreland no government have any concience. the talking heads are just mouthpieces for corporations and dont give a shit about anyone. Period.

"Insurgents" is a code-word for a person who fights against an outside force that occupy its country, killing his/her countrymen. We get tricked to use this word, because it is now connected with "our enemy" and is attacking "us".

If the msm did call americans the terrorists and the iraqi people for freedomfighters it would sadly be the truth

[Y0UT00B3R1]

"X-E Services"?? Sean Thomas is an idiot...Seriously, I couldn't give-a-fuck-less about Blackwater...but, it's pretty hilarious how these stupid RUSSIAN fucks at RT are always SO quick to highlight/mention that "X-E"/Academi is "really" Blackwater, or the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation is "really" The School of The Americas; yet they never want to/or willingly admit that RUSSIAToday is "really" The Kremlin...'fuck outta here, nigga!!

[TheRedLaura]

@Y0UT00B3R1 well, they are americans allright..

they are a private company and the leaders oppenly admit the connection with Blackwater

they are civilians with military type of contracts (they do not belong to any regular army) and they are paid for this specific job by the US Government.

Therefore RT is right no matter how you look at, sorry to say.

[Judeschwein88]

[mmanouvelles]

The word contractor is deceiving. For years I tought they were electricians and other such type of works. People need to call them what they are. Mercenaries
