the large number of security contractors are making the possibility of a draft much slimmer. on the other hand, blackwater is irresponsible and trigger happy. They have caused a lot of problems. Iraq has revoked their license to operate over there which is good since they have been involved in almost 200 shooting incidents where they have shot first on about 160 of them. They are truly fuck ups and our government gives them millions and millions of dollars a year.

There is just too many discrepancies surrounding Blackwater. It isn't very hard to look up its skeletons in the closet. .

Blackwater was given certain responsibilities by the US Government, but the government did not give them absolute authority to act as they have. Blackwater needs to pull out and resolve the troubles.

As usual, power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.

several of my friend currently work for black water and it is a constant issue of contention. most have different jobs, only two operate in direct combat. they are all good and honest men, but the athority given to them and their superiors doesnt sit well, because they have no accountability. i trust the integrity of the few i know, but given the number of acitve "contractors" combined with the unchecked power and considerable fortunes to be made, it seem more the precursor to a corperate SS(cliche i know) than anything.
