WOW!! What have these people gotten into now. What I don't understand is that in order to be accepted into the different training courses at BLACKWATER, you have to go through this extensive background check including but not limited to, CRIMINAL HISTORY, MENTAL BACKGROUND, FINANCIAL BACKGROUND and last but NOT least, a Psycological Test and Evaluation. One would think that when someone makes it through all this hoopla, testing and mental assesment that WHEN you were deployed to do a job that you wouldn't do some of the things that these people have been accused of doing. Now granted, no one has been CONVICTED of anything yet, just accusations which from what I'm reading and hearing, there are a lot of people, A LOT, that are witnesses to these aligations and from what we are hearing, some pretty strong evidence against them. Now, why would anyone cause this shadow that is lingering over this company and the ones that are emplyoed by this company?
If I were a bigwig at BLACKWATER, I believe I would change the way I do business in hiring these people. Granted, good, law abiding citizens take employment with thse companies and they do a hell of a job. Then, it appears that they think that can do what they want.
FINAL THOUGHT
I think that BLACKWATER has not only the goverment looking at them through a magnifying glass but the general public is looking at them and raising an eye as well. Having said this, I seen a guy wearing a BLACKWATER shirt at the Dixie Classic Fair yesterday, I don't believe I would be doing that right now.

I do not support killing innocent people. However, during war innocent people die. Soldiers are trained to kill. The way a county wins a war is to make the enemy die first. Sometimes in the second a soldier makes the selection between enemy and innocent person he makes a mistake. While this is sad I would prefer our men and women to live than to make the other choice and die.
If we do not want innocent people to die then we do not want to have soldiers in combat, government or private. I support the war against terror. I also support our soldiers to kill. That is what a soldier does. That is way he exists. He kills.
