Succeed and survive with Blackwater USA
Here’s a promotional video put out by Blackwater USA, the private security firm that’s been accused of using excessive force in protecting U.S. diplomats in Iraq. The company’s training facility in North Carolina isn’t just a paintball course; it’s a sprawling, high-tech campus that gives clients true “force-on-force simulation” and the opportunity to shoot the holy hell out of everything in sight. The video notes that “defensive driving in hostile zones is one of our specialties” — something the Iraqis disagree with in particular. The video closes with a tagline of sorts: “When you face your moment of truth, your Blackwater training will see you through.” |

And the inevitable incoherent, politically charged rant from Bobby begins in three. . . two. . . one. . .

I wasn't gonna say anything, Ferlin, but after Wild Goose called them mercenaries, oh well, I guess it's politically incorrect to shoot terrorists now.
And Blackwater is so evil, how dare do they train their "mercenaries?" That's so wrong, they should just send them to Iraq without training.
I wonder what a liberal military would look like? I know, No guns, no waking up early, no killing, just men in green singing kumbaya.
Yeah Ferlin, let's all just go ahead and fight terrorism with love.

Or say, the armed forces of the United States, rather than private contractors.

If you look up some of their operative's 'home videos' of their fighting in Iraq on Youtube, you'll see many are just crazy ex-military Mercenaries.
Oh, and they pay them six figures.

I have news for you, our soldiers in Iraq don't exactly work for free either. They also get paid. Are they mercenaries as well?
Of course, democrats who want to bring back the draft, want to lower military pay, so instead of having happy volunteers, we're gonna get unhappy hippies.
Yes, Iraq has private contractors, including people to clean toilets. But I guess that's wrong, it's not enough for "our boys" to risk their lives for freedom, now they also have to clean toilets according to some of you.
For the record, mercenaries have a lot more balls than any of us. When was the last time a client pulled out a gun because he didn't like your idea? How many of you put your lives in harms way?

that's right bobby,
up=down. wrong=right. black=white. you're taking the piss aren't you?

What's the matter, Wild Goose? You can't debate?
Jesus Christ, dude, wake up! Watch the O'reilly Factor, visit freerepublic.com, conservativenews.org, stop getting all your information from John Stewart and Bill Maher! No wonder you're confused.
