blackwater mercenaries

[ElPolaco]

What do most folks think about these blackwater mercenaries. Some have vehemently condemned my use of the term "mercenaries" to describe these people. Locally, there was a widow of one of these mercenaries that died in the chopper crash being interviewed on local news saying how he "died fighting for what he believed in". Personally, I think they can think of any euphemism they want to describe their profession, but they're still mercenaries.

RE: blackwater mercenarie

Mercenaries is the right word, El Polaco. I think very little of them.

There's a number of Canadians over there earning over 15,000 per month doing just that, Beats working at MickeyD,'s eh?

At the same time, if an employee from Mickey D's were to get their head cut off, I would be more inclined to feel sorry for them...

Those men are mostly ex-military, so they knew what they'd be in for. They were armed,well paid...I have no pity for them either.
