I heard yesterday on NPR some interviews about the Blackwater/San Diego thing
They had on a Blackwater VP explaining what they do for their hundreds of millions of dollars. He said, "We teach sailors gun safety - how to safely load, unload, and fire M-16's, 9mm's, and other weapons"

Is it just me, or should the Navy be teaching their members gun safety? Why do we have to pay extra to consultants for something so basic to being in the military?

:wtf:

1. I don't know anything about guns or the military, but I'd bet it's not just you! nt

2. Privatizing gun safety for the Navy...
isn't that special. What a crock of shit Blackwater is.

We have tried to stop this from happening here but the Judge hearing the case keeps siding with Blackwater. We have enough loony tunes here in San Diego... Having thousands of Billy-Jack Rambo's is going to make me feel so much safer here.

:crazy: :eyes:
