   Since many DS agents dont want to go to Iraq we ask Blackwater and other contractors to do DS jobs.
   In addition, Blackwater is less liable. Their lives, responsiblities, legal entities, killing, etc. are less the responsibility of our gov. Their troops almost work like mercenaries.

   Companies like Blackwater are not under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ like militar personnel. They attract the type of person who will do whatever is asked of them, as long as they are protected. This is a very dangerous situation.
   Military personnel take an oath to the Constituion. Blackwater is the equivalent of a street gang. They will do whatever they are paid to do.
   It’s a dangerous thing to have people like this working for our politicians.

   Because the owners of Blackwater are lifelong committed Republicans who give millions and millions of dollars to the party, just like Halliburton does. Sometimes Republicans just have to start wars so that they can hire their friends using taxpayer dollars.
