    Why in the fuck do these politicians keep playing this game- American taxpayers are being fleeced by these crooks! What is the point of having to pay these private DoD contractors this much money, and more than our military members are supposed to receive? This is a total joke! Everyone involved is UNPROFESSIONAL. These are hustlers, thugs and crooks that just figured out a way to get paid from this grand hustle of keeping war going so they can get richer! Its bull shit. They can’t be trusted.

    Blackwater has values.

    Don’t lose sight of the fact that these men are prior service personnel. They are military, in fact most are ex Special Forces. Most of you posting comments here have no real experience in dealing with Blackwater or this war for that matter. Just a bunch of speculators. These men are true patriots. Unless you have been there keep your comments to yourselves.

  9. sniffytoes10 Says:

    I’ll comment all I want. I’m proir service too. These are merely thugs. They deserve every round that the rag heads give them. They don’t have the class that our military has. Why don’t you keep your comments to yourself.

    This is once again proving the double standard for power and authority. He who has the gold makes the rules. Blackwater and the government is clearly out of control since Ruby Ridge and Waco. Blackwater mercs are responsible for thousands of murders in a dozen countries and our tax payers are get the bill.

  12. summerwav11 Says:

    I completely disagree. I served beside blackwater for ever 2 years in Iraq when I was in the army. they were the standard of professionalism. And they were EXTREMELY good at their job, as a matter of fact, they were far better and more specialized at their job than any Conventional US military unit.

  13. summerwav11 Says:

    I also must say..Mr. Waxman needs to serve a tour in Iraq with these guys. They are good, REALLY GOOD. I understand the tough questions, but let me tell you, this “errors” happen DAILY with the US Military, and no one’s threatening to put them out of business. When you run THOUSANDS of operations of this nature, its inevitable to have some sort of accident or loss of life. Unfortunately, that goes along with the job.

  14. ABCDROP Says:

    if you have served in the military you should be mature enough to go back and forth saying “why don’t you shut up?”
    “why don’t you shut up?”

  15. wiferachel Says:

    Nuke iraq and send blackwater to our borders now!

  16. zideeq Says:

    private military contractor Blackwater, that’s all you need to read to know that they are not a good company but corrupt

    The left right paradigm is an illusion, let us not play a semantical game.

  18. Here4Years Says:

    This man reminds me so much of Reinhard Heydrich it’s scary.

  19. sniffytoes10 Says:

    Thank you for your service. When I served organizations like this were very much looked down on. I don’t know what outfit you served with, but your comments aren’t saying much for them. There are no finer than our men and women in uniform. Why sell them short? You might have been a good soldier but obviously you don’t know loyalty. I wouldn’t want to fight beside you.

  21. OffTheRecord2008 Says:

    And you are a retarded peice of shit. Blow your own brains out, fuckstick.

  22. OffTheRecord2008 Says:

    You should fucking die. Seriously. You are too stupid to live. Just die off and leave the planet to the smarter people.

  23. ChrisVarick Says:

    just because he hires men to kill other men hes a nazi?

  24. dekkard Says:

    Comparing hin with Heydrich, I didnt think of this – but now I know who he reminds me of. Im afraid Reinhard Heydrich was far more evil… or at least I hope so!

  25. LOVENJOS Says:

    what i don’t understand is why doesn’t pay your goverment pay your soldiers more money to go to iraq en afghanistan. It is better for america beter for iraq and afghanistan and better for the tax-payer. If you see how much is paid the last years how much support is that for your one army.
    My respect for the people who serve there country so outstanding
