They Just kick'ed a guy off AR15.com for daring speak his mind and questioning the fact, that Hollywood Scott Helveston, might have indeed been over there in Fallujah, to test Blended Metal Ammunition on some live subjects. Here's a couple of the posts, It's instructive when the gun guys go after each other and provides us with a much better picture of just, what was going on over there, related to Blackwaters little corperate super ammunition safari.
"From AR15.com"
"I'm just praying that one of our young, low paided Marines, does not get hit, with a blended metal .556 meant for a Blackwater Training sales video.
I doubt the sales video would be quite as appealing, to Blackwater's future customers, if the film was taken in a U.S. Army Surgical Hospital, with a young Marine as the victim instead of an Iraqi and that Blackwater had to admit "Whoops our super mercinary product testers, got waxed and lost a few of these puppies, but look!!! They do go right through Intercepter Vests and turn the targets inards to goo."
I'm all for destroying Fallujah after what happened to these guys, But I also think they were out there for the greater glory and future sales prospects of Blackwater.
Scott Helveston was a face that had been on TV and offered sales name recognition, all Blackwater needed was some trigger time on him in Iraq, to start putting that name recognition to work selling Training and Ammo.
I'm a Conservative Republican, not a DU'er, But I can recognize when I'm being fed a line of ultra patriot horse hockey. Scott Helverson was a highy paid celebrity mercenary, who finaly went to far and got smoked, not a grand American hero as many here would hold him up to be."
I love it when a Repub stands up on his little hind legs. States that the Emperor, might not be wearing any cloths and then gets prompty wasted, by the conservative powers that be.
Here's anouther snippet
"From AR15.com"
"I just think, Blackwater would'nt have minded having a little more "Live" ballistic data and film of a few dead iraqi's with holes in 'em, that you could throw a cat though, narrated by former Navy Seal turned telivision face man...Scott Helverston...and they sent him to the perfect place to do it...Fallujah. Unlike the DU'ers, I don't think they were doing anything so melodramatic as just walking around shooting people to test new ammo, but then again, if you send the ammo to someplace like Fallujah, your almost sure to have an opportunity to try it out..unless the Iraqi's suddenly turn over a new leaf and become good world citezens over night...the chance to shoot somebody with blended metal ammo over there is better than nearly any place on earth that I can think of, right off hand. You don't have to be a DU'er to wonder about that.
And yet, There's more
"From AR15.com"
"Scott Helveston was an animal we have not seen much of in this century, but used to be common in the Salon's of Europe in century's past...The Celebrity Mercenary.
If Helveston had been this great American Patriot, going to Iraq for god and Country, He'd have been doing it in uniform. As it was he died for Blackwater's investment in his being able to make Training and Sales Videos Featuring the Great Scott Helverson (As Seen on the Combat Missions TV show) on his return from Iraq."
If we end up going into Fallujah and killing a bunch of people over this, Then by god, I want to see a congressional investigation, into just what a bunch of $100,000.00+ a year, non-uniformed, mercenary hired professional killers were doing tear assing around Fallujah, for Blackwater Training Inc with little or no supervision.
I want to see the people from BlackWater, called to task, by senators asking hard questions about their increadibly high fee's and see their books opened...After all, they'r not the military, their a private entity and subject to scrutiny.
