"wanna be"? Really?
Most of these guys are former SF that served in America's armed forces.
Bad wars, good warriors.
These guys arent "warriors". Warriors dont shoot unarmed civilians in the back.
""In August 2012, the company agreed to pay $7.5 million in fines, without admitting guilt, to the US government to settle various charges involving pre-Academi personnel. Afterwards in February 2013, the majority of the remaining charges were dropped when it was shown that in many cases, the Blackwater employees had been acting under the orders of the US government.[183][184][185][186] Once the court decision had been finalized, Academi pointed out that, “The court decision involves former Blackwater executives, none of whom have ever worked for ACADEMI or the current ownership.”[187]
After the Nisour Square killings by Blackwater convoy guards in a Baghdad traffic circle of 17 Iraqi civilians and the serious wounding of 20 more in September 2007, charges were brought against five guards. One pleaded guilty to a lesser offense in exchange for his testimony for the prosecution. Three were eventually convicted in October 2014 of 14 manslaughter charges, and another of murder, in a U.S. court. Attorneys for the defendants indicated they would appeal the verdicts""
Guilty as charged. 7.5 million in fines and kicked out of Iraq.
Soldiers who cant adjust to civilian life sign up for work at academi. These men are troubled and with mental issues, but the pay is good for this type of human being.

It seems that the law disagrees with you. You know. The rule of law and all that. We aren't talking PC. We're talking very serious natonal and international law and it isn't subject to your distaste or your home team rah rah.
Oh...o.k ...kill us..no problem. fight fire with fire...and you're wrong??? Leave all these foreign countries. let them blow each other up....Gas 50 cents a gallon!

It's "you're ".
Thanks, Mrs bbsam teacher.
We cant police the whole world,and let ours fall apart.
you're welcome!
As wk says, "The system isn't broken. It was built this way."
Just remember, thats 7.5 MILLION OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS that got flushed down the toilet for these "hero's".
TOS.
Thats nothing,compared to all the wasteful Democrat spending.
pssst, BUSH spent over 3 trillion dollars on two wars that garnered NOTHING. We wasted the lives of over 10 thousand military personnel just so AV8 could say "we" found a can of raid in the desert of Bagdad.
The democrats havent come close to spending 3 trillion dollars on anything.
Heck, the BUSH tax cuts were spread over ten years the first time, and extended another ten years when the GOP decided they needed to be extended.
Thats an additional 5.3 trillion dollars that will never be repaid.
But, you talk about democrats??
Please.
TOS.
That was Bush's fault, right??

When the US is the world's largest economy, yes he did.
