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.

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.

@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!

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..

wtf

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.

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

What are you talking about???

[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...

[mistergrin]

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