  • In October 2007 the United Nations released a two year study that stated, that although hired as "security guards", private contractors were performing military duties. The report found that the use of contractors such as Blackwater was a "new form of mercenary activity".

  • @GunsOfThePhoenix nice... but there may need to be a seperate institution that is not under command of the state governor. These seperate civil troops are best served with training for combat against federal troops in case of excessive government. What im getting at is that the two armies (federal and civilian) should not be interconnected, but instead stand in opposition to each other. Balance of Power for the WIN.

  • @deceiver123m There is already something like that, its called the "State Military Reserve", which is groups of unpaid soldiers that can be called into action in times of crisis and be paid like normal Nat. Guardsmen. They have to buy their own uniforms and train a lot less then normal soldiers/guardsmen.

  • @GunsOfThePhoenix Agreed... in a Republic that is almost free there should be no mercenaries. The USA should only have a national army for war abroad. Homeland security should take place at home with local government through local police departments. And among the people there should exist local militia groups that are huge in scope (ideally eighteen to thirty times the size of national army when tallied all together, but controlled at local levels... you cant ever go too far with freedom)

  • Blackwater is nothing but a bunch of merc scumbags. These douchebags r war criminals and need to be held accountable for their actions. If you're so fucking stupid that u can't grasp this fact u need to get your head out of your ass.

  • @TheUnitedStatists If you are going to comment here at least make an intelligent comment instead of being a stupid conservative when he was only speaking the truth about how the bush administration fucked us over.

  • One good thing about it: If Mercs are doing our fighting, Mercs are dying instead of our own people.

  • shut up cenk you're a douche
