Finally, the perfect weapon for Blackwater's hired cranks. It will
widen the
pattern of their mistakes, and eliminate pesky witnesses.
You know, at some point the Blackwater thugs are going to come home
from
Iraq and look for the same sorts of high-pay guard jobs here that they
had there. Perhaps the Iraqi "insurgents" would be doing the world a
public service if, instead of targeting uniformed U.S. soldiers, they'd
take out the Blackwaters.

No, bird brains, I don't.
Let's put it this way: U.S. troops wear this country's uniform, are
subject to at least a modest code of justice regarding their behavior in
places like Iraq, and are *serving their country* for modest pay. If they
screw up badly enough in Iraq in certain situations (like killing innocent
civilians), they face trials and possible imprisonment.
The Blackwater boys wear no country's uniform, are not subject to the
criminal laws of either Iraq or the United States in performance of their
"guard duty" over there, and are working as mercenaries for high pay. They
are not *serving* anything but their wallets. They kill and maim over
there with impunity and face no criminal justice system for their actions.

Even if those statements were true, how are they different from terrorist we
are fighting. Eh?
*If* Americans are going to die in Iraq, and apparently they are, I'd
rather it be the Blackwater thugs. That way, we'll have fewer of them back
home, and fewer problems.
Returning soldiers, on the other hand, are simply returning soldiers, and
with the proper social services, can be properly integrated back into
normal society.
Is this too abstract for you?
Some pretty sick comments Harry.
Since I am not in charge of who dies in Iraq, it really doesn't matter.
But my point stands: the returning soldiers are easily integrated back
into society. Mercenaries are not.- Hide quoted text -

Why not address the question I asked earlier:

------------------------------------

You stated:

"The Blackwater boys wear no country's uniform, are not subject to the
criminal laws of either Iraq or the United States in performance of their
"guard duty" over there, and are working as mercenaries for high pay. They
are not *serving* anything but their wallets. They kill and maim over
there with impunity and face no criminal justice system for their actions. "
--------------------------------
I then asked:

"Even if those statements were true, how are they different from terrorist
we
are fighting. Eh?"

---------------------------------------

And your answer is?




The simple answer is that neither the Blackwater thugs nor the
"terrorist" thugs face an established criminal justice system.

But there's a lot more to it than that.

=========================

You never saw Harry say that, or even remotely imply such a thing. If
you
disagree, be a linguist and a scholar for a minute and point out which
specific words or sentences contain the meaning you imagined.

Such is a common ailment among the semi-literates who plague this
newsgroup and, of course, those who deliberately misconstrue what others
post and then give their "miscontructions" a half life approaching
plutonium.- Hide quoted text -

What is worse is three or more other pigs who saw it and did nothing..
like I said, if you got one dirty cop and 11 more who are afraid to
honor their oath to serve and protect, you got a dirty dozen...

=========================


Back in the late 1970s, a radio station in Long Island used to air these
home-cooked "public service" commercials to poke fun (or worse) at public
officials and agencies. One used a really oafish sounding voice saying "Are
you big, strong and stupid? The Nassau County Police Department wants you.
Come to our job fair....", and finished with the actual direct phone number
of the PD's personnel office. The message could've been applicable anywhere
in the country. I know a few smart cops, but the morons are the ones who
stand out, like the one who completely bungled a burglary investigation here
two summers ago. After 5 minutes of talking to this thing in a uniform, it
was obvious that the bricks lining my flower bed were trying hard not to
laugh at him.

How do they get hired?

Oh. You think that if someone doesn't care about the welfar of Blackwater
employees, it means they're OK with Americans in general being killed.

That's an incorrect conclusion.

You will now disagree.

You might be able to answer that question yourself.

Pretend you work for Blackwater, and your employees are having a tough time
recruiting friends via word of mouth, as in "I love this job. You might be
right for it, too." You have to write a want ad.

What would the want ad say, to attract employees? Show us. Remember that
you need to think about the type of people most likely to succeed at the
job.

You said "Even if those statements were true", which suggests that some or
all of them are NOT true. In the paragraph beginning with "The Blackwater
boys", which statements do YOU BELIEVE are not true?

Harry, the problem with that line of reasoning is, most of Blackwater's
mercenaries are recruited from the soldier's ranks. *So, perhaps, some
are not so easily integrated back into society.

Stop mudging up things with facts, ok?

No conflict. We've already seen that it is not easy to integrate some
soldiers back into society.
