Blackwater's License Revoked = Neocon Nightmare |
|
The ONLY thing keeping the Neocons from having to swallow the poison pill that is THE DRAFT is:
A. Recycling our Troops.
B. Spending Billions on private, mercenary armies like Blackwater.
Take BW out of the equation and the Draft becomes more of a reality. And THAT will end the war.
I'm sure Bush is mad as fucking hell that the Iraqis would DARE exercise some independence and revoke these private killers' license.

2. Is there any at least semi-official record of how many blackwaters |
|
are in Iraq? US shouldn't be pating any of them to be there, but is there anything like enough to really affect troop levels?

3. If there was a draft every manly chickenhawk would be gay in a heartbeat |
|
Ergo, I would have a draft with zero deferments for anyone who could pass an entrance physical, regardless of sex or sexuality for anyone 40 years old or younger.
Lets have a Draft and all the fucking warmongering cowardly garbage in this country will become dope smoking peaceniks.

4. Legalized mercenaries supported by our government.... |
|
what bullsh*t. Shut them down !
Have a friend working for them now, makes $115,000/month, works 3 months, off 3 months. Oh, and if he gets killed, his family gets a million dollars up front, and several thousands a month for life.
Does anyone have the stats compared to our troops? Sad.

5. Scahill just told Randi that they jeopardize the idea of the nation state... |
|
... because the mercenary companies have more armaments and fire power than some countries.

7. something to remember about mercenaries |
|
They are loyal only to money. If someone else offers them a better deal, they will change sides in a second. A number of medieval rulers discovered this the hard way.
Want some spare Genoese crossbowmen? We also a good deal today on Swiss pikemen.
Dimbulb NeoCons didn't study history.
