Blackwater is to the US Military what FedEx is to the US Postal Service.
DOD traces Santa for children and also for the INS. Keep in mind that just for Christmas; Santa sneaks not only into our homes but he is sneaking into the USA as an undocumented worker, along with the fact that he’s not paying taxes on any of his imports.
Private Military Companies such as Blackwater is also tracking Santa and at the same time protecting him from terrorist threats.
I know this is old news but I need a career change…
Blackwater Worldwide, a private security company whose work in Iraq was plagued by trouble, said yesterday that it is changing its name to Xe as it shifts its business focus.
The company, based in Moyock, N.C., has more than a dozen business units that are owned by Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL and heir to an industrial fortune. Prince grew the company over the past decade from a small firm that offered training for law enforcement and small military units to landing part of a lucrative State Department contract to provide security in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Its work in those countries was plagued with problems. In 2004, four of Blackwater’s guards were ambushed by insurgents in Fallujah. The company made headlines again on Sept. 16, 2007, during a chaotic confrontation in downtown Baghdad, when Blackwater contractors allegedly shot and killed 17 Iraqis in a crowded square. That incident led to congressional inquiries and protests that it be removed from the country. Last month, the Iraqi government refused to issue a new operating license to Blackwater, and the firm is winding down its work there. (Via Washington Post)
I’ve met a lot of good people from this company while I was down range (iraq) I was planning to join this security company when I get out of the Air Force but now I might just stay in or go this way. I wanted to go back to Iraq as a contractor and make bank but government refused to issue a new operating license to Blackwater.
I dont like their new Identity, the new logo is not as cool as the old one.
I need to figure out what im going to do when I get out of the Air Force, I can always go back to school, do freelance graphic design, or go to Hollywood to become the new Disney child superstar.
Blackwater’s McDonnell Douglas MD-369FF Loaches are essentially defenseless, unless you count the two mercs hanging out the cabin doors with their rifles.
