I am working for Blackwater in the NO area right now. Here are a
few facts: We only have semi-auto weapons or pump-action shotguns.
I am working basically as a security guard and I am licensed to
carry a weapon as a security guard in the state. We are using our
air assets to perform search and rescue and assistance operations
free of charge. I am not a mercenary. I work for us interests only
when I am out of the country. I am not a thug. I have 12 years of
police experience, 16 years of military experience (including SF)
and I have saved more lives than I will ever take. BW can quickly
deploy a fair number of personnel at a cheaper cost than the
military. If you bitch about my pay, then put in your resume. I
have put my time in as a soldier and police officer, so you know
what you can do with your petty jealousy (if this applies to you ).
I am working with good natured, hard-working, patriotic Americans.
We are not patrolling the streets with orders to shoot to kill like
some of you would like to believe. The area needed security before
relief could be sent in. Most of this is common sense to me. Don't
let your beliefs blind you from the facts and reasonable thought. I
am typing this using my cell phone or I would type more.
stay safe
