The trouble started with Blackwater when they basically got every defense contract they bid on. Originally, they hired only spec ops guys. SEALS, Delta, Rangers. They started getting greedy. They had more contracts than they had guys to fill the spots so they started hiring guys that where regular Army or Marines that their only experience was that they had had multiple tours. A lot of them where undisciplined cowboys.

When they first started, they were top notch. They took on convoy and VIP escort that freed up regular troops to do normal military ops. Then it all went haywire. I'm neither for or against contractors like BW. So long as they abide by the rules of combat. Despite popular opinion, they are needed. The state department and even the active force no longer has enough troop strength for some tasks deemed outside of normal combat operations. Look at our embassies. They are "all" undermanned and under armed. So are ports of call around the world where smaller Naval assets park for maintenance. Just get them under the rule of law.

@@bellmeisterful bruh, the way wrongfully-convicted inmates walk out of prison, is through a re-trial with a new jury, new judge and new evidence. These four blackwater guards were convicted by a jury of their peers in a public, fair, scrutinized trial. They now walk free because of a presidential pardon that doesn't offer any new reason or evidence why their killing 14 civilians were justified. 12 American men and women listened to relevant evidence and testimony in a court of law and found BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that these four blackwater guards were guilty. And now I am supposed to PUT ASIDE the jury's verdict, and instead believe Eric Prince, who has a personal motive to lie about the case?

Thats not true. They can be prosecuted. The agreement they signed specifically addresses this. It simply says they cant be prosecuted by the local governemnt. IE, they couldnt be prosecuted by Iraqi courts when in Iraq. Theyre subject to the US military and US courts. It's detailed specifically in his book with quotes from the contract with the state department. It's a total myth that contractors are in a special gray area and outside of the law. They're just protected so that they can't be prosecuted as war criminals by local jurisdictions, just like the military.

Lol they operate under the same guidelines as anyone enlisted in any branch of the US Military- it’s called the UCMJ or Universal Code of Military Justice... every PMC contracted by the United States is held accountable for their actions just like any other enlisted soldier... the only difference is when ppl hear “private military” they automatically assume rules don’t apply to them. The only reason you’ve heard so much about Blackwaters mistakes in the news is because they were used as a scapegoat for many of the problems the United States ran into over here including innocent civilian deaths. Don’t just assume PMC’s are the only ppl accidentally killing civilians- it happens everyday over there, it’s just swept under the rug because the government would rather protect their own ass and point the finger at someone else.

The problem of any private military or law enforcement enterprise is that these ones are not really taking advantage from an fast and easily pacified conflict, but they need to keep things working well for them. “War profiteer” is not wrong in that context. Questionable is in general if private companies were suitable to “neutralize” human beings, also on behalf of jurisdiction. It’s not a good way at all, in my humble opinion.

At the moment Blackwater is full of wanker drug taking alcoholic lunatics who are out of control. Every crime they commit crimes against innocent people its overlooked for the bigger picture.

Blackwater now is fighting against Piracy in Somalia, helping train Somalian forces and being private security for Cargo ships. Since 2011 there have been only one captured or hostaged ships.

Back in the day, there was no such thing as military contractors, except for civilian support on military installations: laundry, commissary, mess hall, and a few other occupations. Military work remained strictly military operations by military personnel. Live fire ops remained entirely active duty. Courts and hearings, allegations, and punishments remained entirely within UCMJ functions.

Prince has a tough job and his company has done some great work. However I disagree with his comments in his book re the 4 Blackwater contractors that were murdered in Fallujah. They were not properly equipped for that mission. 4 people lost their lives escorting trucks to retrieve kitchen equipment. Never should have happened.

Do you really believe that this murderer was doing something for his "fellow man"? How naïve. His murder for hire gang made him a millionaire many times over. Your language gives you away . "libs" how juvenile, you really bought into the whole Liberal/Conservative paradigm didn't you? You sir are a complete FOOL.

It's Ironic how the US want to persecute Drug Cartel people for Example: El Chapo/ Sinaloa Cartel have thousand of Mercenaries/hitmen of Los Antrax to take care of territories in Culiacan and Gente Nueva in Sonora and other area in Mexico, but to be honest the only difference US Private Military Companies to do it legally with Gov Backup. If you are a Cartel Member or a Mercenary from a legal company the job is the same ! You get paid to execute the ambition of someone else destroying lives of children, women, innocents for the Pay. a Legal Mafia elite where the Boss is Money.

And we wonder why so many ex military who spent far to long behind the scope end up on a police force. Simple answer is that they enjoy killing people but when one of their own goes down, who really did deserve to die , they go nuts and shit ass crazy. Maybe, if less mercs were involved we'd all be better off. Sending in people who are paid by the DOD is just as bad as using the DOD . Only difference is, since they aren't actually active duty , they can do as they like or so it would seem, just so the US Govt doesn't wear a black eye. To bad for the mercs. Sooner, rather than later, someone will get the idea that just by being an American doesn't offer you any more protection than what you're not entitled to else where in the world. And gee thanks for making everyone's life safer ( sic). Keep that in mind when Americans are attacked in places that we're not especially welcomed in , and we're bringing back remains in a bag. Yeap....Amerika....such a wonderful fun filled place. I hope like hell we get our asses handed to us.
