  • They aren't bloody mercs for a start, calling them mercs implies they just kill for money. These contractors have purpose which in Iraq and Afghanistan is to help with the likes of security of locations/VIPs and intel gathering with most of the operators being ex special forces meaning they have more than enough experience for the job and sometimes is better than using serving soldiers. Indeed learn your facts. Btw call a contractor a merc to his face and he'll probably take your head odd ;)

  • @Illeagle98

    yeah you are an idiot

  • @Illeagle98 Merc's aren't illegal. Learn your stuff before making an argument.

  • @bigboss6999 Care to elaborate? Don't call someone out if you aren't gonna explain how they're an idiot...

  • @Illeagle98 you're a fucking idiot

  • Blackwater and companies like it all need to be disbanded. They are illegal mercenaries and nowhere in the Constitution is there a provision for their use. US: STOP USING MERCENARIES!
