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

With U.S. forces packing up and leaving - Iraq, devasted by almost a decade of war, is looking at an uncertain future. And that offers a profitable opportunity for the world's most infamous mercenary company - Blackwater. Now rebranded 'Academi' - and with an unsullied new leadership - it's hoping to bury its bloody past in Iraq, while turning a buck.

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

@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.

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

@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.

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.

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