im all for blackwater/xe/academi. yes they did kill civilians no doubt about it. was it justifiable... most people will say no and if you do say no you should study a little bit more, anyone remember the Fallujah Ambush?? insurgents lit a blackwater vehical on fire, burnt them to death and then dragged them through the streets and hung them from a bridge. 2 wrongs do make a right, this is a fucked up world we live in. nothing will change it. get use to it.

"blackwater" does sound a bit badass, until you realize what "blackwater" actually is. it's another name for sewage (wastewater that comes from toilets, as opposed to "graywater" which is waste water that comes primarily from bathing)

WHY DOES NO ONE SANCTION THE U.S: FOR HIRING KILLERS WHO HUNT CIVILIANS BUT THE U.S: WANTS EVERYONE TO SANCTION IRAN FOR TAKING AN AMERICAN SPY AS A PRISONER?
Blackwater is going the wrong way with this, if you want to re-build your brand try making it sound like another successful brand. Maybe Niky or McDonnys, good positive sounding brand names they can free-ride off of. "Blackwater", "Xe", "Academi", who are you trying to fool, a simple google search will reveal exactly who you are, it's not like we live in the 1970s..
Why not raise the pay of service men and women? They sacrifice a lot, often their lives, to serve their country. If it would pay to be a soldier in the armed forces, then there wouldn't be a need for these... "lawful" mercenary groups.
But this is so laughable! Badass mercs that call themselves Xe! Hahaha! Just call yourselves the A-Team.
what Blackwater does by changing its name is the exact mirror reflection of how the voting system works in US ..they just change from Democratics to Republicans..and the sheeple will cheer on saying we got something new....
Naw, Blackwater needed to put some more space between themselves and the crappy Kinect game that was based on them. Name change! That and they're frickin' idiots that fully deserve their reputation that they just can't seem to get rid of no matter how many name changes they go through.
@SadisticSenpai61 The problem is their reputation is JUST WHAT THEY ARE SELLING. They have a reputation for being brutal thugs who have no qualms against raping and pillaging and murdering innocent civilians, and that is JUST WHAT ALL THE TINPOT DICTATORS WANT.
No, the reason why non-main brand ciggs (ie, not Marlboro or Camel) aren't selling is because they aren't allowed to advertise, so all the new smokers have never even heard of them. Then you add in that Marlboro and Camel buy all these advertising spaces on the cigg racks and cover up other brands... The majority of non-main brand ciggs in gas stations are hidden behind signs or in cupboards.
@SadisticSenpai61 However, the big brands are not selling either. There is only the memory of cigarette ads from long ago. The only advertising space ANY cigarette brand still has is on the packet itself, and now it is covered with pictures of cancer. Do I feel sorry for the less well known brands? Hellno, they are selling cancer. Which brand of cancer do you prefer? It's all the same, it's all painful early death.
@dangerouslytalented Indeed we will have to take arms against the proxy forces that we've created. There have already been fire fights between our mercs and our Armed Forces in Iraq. What became Al-Qaeda were our proxy mercs against the Soviet Union in Afganistan.
@EBurwell and if we don't, they will simply take control of everything.That's what they do in Africa, they find a diamond mine, kick the owners out, and abduct slave labor to dig all the diamonds out.
@dangerouslytalented Yes. What is happening in Africa is the example of the worst of it. Merecenaries are being hired by governments to quash inserections. These mercs then set up their own fiefdoms, steal the resorces from legitimate(?) owners, build up their forces, and then force out the government.

The hiring of mercenary firms such as Blackwater and Executive Outcomes must be one of the BIGGEST TACTICAL BLUNDERS OF HISTORY. They cost far more than regular soldiers,there is much less control over what they do, AND THEIR BEST BUSINESS PLAN IS TO MAKE THE WAR WORSE.Your average soldier wants to go HOME. THESE guys prefer battle, and if they can't get one, they will create one.
Blackwater is nothing compared to Executive Outcomes. Executive Outcomes is one of the worst mercanaries groups in the world, they have done much worst things in Africa and the Middle East than any one can imagine, and i bet most of you don't even know who they are.
@mooseinator194 Yes Sierra Leone was one of the few exemples where foreign fighters came in and solved the problem and left peacefully BUT just because it worked ones doesnt we should do it all the time because thats is a form of imperialism, and I hate imperialism.
@TheMaroufWarsame Executive outcomes were a small operation compared to Blackwater, Simon Mann who ran the company is a shrewd business man no where near as psychopathic as Eric Prince. Plus they generally hired more professional soldiers from the British and South African armed forces. Blackwater hire any small mined steroid junkie who want to waste some "towel heads". They had more success against the RUF in Sierra Leone than the UN did.
@M Is there such a thing as Greek Shorthand? XE pronounced in Greek is CHI EPSILON (see civil engineering society). Maybe it means JC to Erik Prince but it ain't short hand.
That Erik Prince is a psychopathic fake Christian is common knowledge. He'll get away w/ everything as he is now hiding out in Abu Dhabi, considered resigned from the company.
The real problem here is that of his $1.6-2 billon in contracts he received from the US govt. Obama sent him $220 million. Obama is a sucker.
@jxsilicon9 If he didn't know about it (ignorance) then he is no better than Reagan and his Nicaraguan problem. Iran Contra? If he did know about it then he should have stopped it. It is quite a bit of CIA or Pentagon money to not know about. He PERSONALLY should have cut all ties to Blackwater in 2009.
"contractors" makes it sound like people with building materials or infrastructure/construction related when in fact a lot of them probably carry automatic weapons.
That comment about Plato not sitting around thinking about what warriors should do is ironic since that's exactly what Plato did in several chapters of the Republic--pontificating at great lengths on the characteristics and training that the Ideal City's warriors/guardians should have. Next Blackwater will start depicting their security forces as Plato's guardians: well rounded intellectuals who painstakingly analyze the moral dimensions of their actions and are too smart to be corrupted.
And, what bank hasn't changed their name in the last couple of years? Or, the pathetic ACORN, that was caught with its fingers in the pie, reorganizing as "Affordable Housing Center of America. No real news here. Happens all the time Cenk.
Actually calling a group of private contractors "The Academi" is pretty funny in my mind. It makes them sound like a group of privately trained assassins from a bad action movie ;)
@EBurwell That's why Mercenaries should be outlawed and proscribed as terrorists. Blackwater, Airscan, DynCorp, ADS, ArmourGroup. They should all be proscribed.
@MsAlternativexxx Time and time again they have been outlawed. The pirates of the new world were all state sponsored mercecaries. After we and the european powers setteled on trade agreements the pirates/mercs had to be hunted down and killed to stop them because they continued to raid commerce.
@EBurwell America will be fighting wars directly with mercenaries within five years, hell, probably already have been. The only way mercenaries can keep up their profits is to make wars worse.
@dangerouslytalented Indeed we will have to take arms against the proxy forces that we've created. There have already been fire fights between our mercs and our Armed Forces in Iraq. What became Al-Qaeda were our proxy mercs against the Soviet Union in Afganistan.

Mercenaries are enemy combatants, murderers-for-hire and the days when vast mercenary armies ravaged Europe and pillaged, raped and burned down entire counties without accountability is nothing I'd wish on a global scale today.
.
It's like when al-Qaida enlists young men to blow themselves up in some marketplace.
The mere fact that f.e the movie "Blood Diamond" is actually pretty accurate in it's historical context is deplorable, to say the least.
@underbjorn Read the definition of a mercenary according to international law. If your country of origin is officially involved in a country, you are not a mercenary.
Such international law is hardly binding and seeing the U.S makes its own laws and definitions wherever it sees fit, I don't see why I should not call them what they obviously are.
@underbjorn and if there are no bidders, they will find some third world country and surround the parliament and take it over.Or take a whole city hostage for ransom. Or stage complex robberies. Remember the Diehard movies? That's the kind of thing mercenaries are capable of doing if they don't have a contract. Modern day privateers.
The idea of private military contracting is simply disgusting. This could be the "American Dream", ladies and gentlemen, war profiteering. Yep, the Arabs hate us because they are uncivilized people who hate our freedoms...
These fucking PMCs are not "contractors", they are mercenaries. Under current US law, the scum would be classified as enemy combatants - not subject to US law nor international treaty. The only thing saving them from this fate is the fact that they work for the US gov't. and its puppets.
Also add to that fact that those 17000 "contractors" are generally better armed and better trained then the Iraq army, only thing they really lack is heavy weapons............. or maybe not.
Fun fact: Blackwater was started by a former green beret as a training camp for soldiers and police who wanted to bone up on their shooting skills, Prince turned it into a mercenary company after 9/11 and Bush's push to use more civilian contractors in order to have enough soldiers to avoid a draft.
@willia3r The people who started the original "Blackwater Lodge" were Green Berets and SEALs Erik Prince kinda bought his way in after he sold his father's auto part manufacturing company off.
Privatize the military, and hire mercenaries. The US administrative officials can continue invading and occupying countries without any citizen knowing.
Anyone whoever gets a chance to kill any of those lowlife mercenaries and anyone involved in the rising decadent capitalist trend of private armies should consider themselves a champion of humanity
what the fuck do we need contractors for? We have no obligations whatsoever. If the Iraqis want mercenaries, they are free to hire nutcase, fundamentalist civilian murderers if they want, but don't fucking do it at my cost!!!
@Newenlightenmentnow The mercs are not usually working for Iraqis, they are hired to protect Americans in Iraq. Because they fucking hate us no matter how much people in the U.S. take credit for "Giving them freedom"
@Friedstuffsable You totally missed my point. Since reading comprehension isn't a strength of yours, here it is again. I see no reason why there should be any contractors there at all. Period. Let the Iraqis hire their own contractors, including blackwater if that's what they want. Otherwise, let them use their own businesses. I for one am TIRED OF FINANCING IT! I want 0 dollars going to Iraq for any reason.
@Newenlightenmentnow I'm against the mercs being payed for by tax dollars too. Don't get pissed so quick you angry little boy. My point is, it is not Iraqis that are hiring these guys.
@Friedstuffsable And my point is the same. I don't want to hire mercs or contractors of any type to send to Iraq. Not on my dime thank you. If the Iraqi people want to take a vote and use their money to hire contractors and mercs (unlikely) then fine, otherwise, just get us the hell out. It's over.
@Newenlightenmentnow I know this might be a shock to you, but the only reason for going to a war in Iraq was exactly to give your money to crooks so they would make insane profits.
Im in the military, we do not view these guys in a good light. Everything they do a real soldier can do, with a solder able to do much more, they also do it at a higher price then a soldier and the results are worst. But the worst part is the fact they have no loyalty. I truse a member of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army more then these guys, atleast they want to defend their country to.

That comment about Plato not sitting around thinking about what warriors should do is ironic since that's exactly what Plato did in several chapters of the Republic--pontificating at great lengths on the characteristics and training that the Ideal City's warriors/guardians should have. Next Blackwater will start depicting their security forces as Plato's guardians: well rounded intellectuals who painstakingly analyze the moral dimensions of their actions and are too smart to be corrupted.

Mercenaries are enemy combatants, murderers-for-hire and the days when vast mercenary armies ravaged Europe and pillaged, raped and burned down entire counties without accountability is nothing I'd wish on a global scale today.

It's like when al-Qaida enlists young men to blow themselves up in some marketplace.
The mere fact that f.e the movie "Blood Diamond" is actually pretty accurate in it's historical context is deplorable, to say the least.

Blackwater is the new Sturmabteilung fascist paramilitary.
.
When my own country abolished conscription for a "professional" army, it was just the signum of endless commercialization.
Now, the Swedish army spends fortunes on ad campaigns, which ofc the corrupted, incompetent U.S military has done for decades by now.
.
These companies hire international mercenaries, thugs, heavily armed militias and terror groups and twisted ex-soldiers.
They are UNCONTROLLABLE and will defect to highest bidder.

@underbjorn and if there are no bidders, they will find some third world country and surround the parliament and take it over.Or take a whole city hostage for ransom. Or stage complex robberies. Remember the Diehard movies? That's the kind of thing mercenaries are capable of doing if they don't have a contract. Modern day privateers.

These fucking PMCs are not "contractors", they are mercenaries. Under current US law, the scum would be classified as enemy combatants - not subject to US law nor international treaty. The only thing saving them from this fate is the fact that they work for the US gov't. and its puppets.
