Blackwater = Nazi Thugs
It makes me literally sick to my stomach to know that these brainless, soulless, dishonorable, trigger-happy psychopaths are running rampant around Iraq and blatantly murdering innocent civilains.
What enrages me is that there is no oversight, no authority and no way to reign in these maniacs or punish them when they brazenly and wantonly overreact and murder innocent civilians.
When the main motivator for fighting a war is greed you fight the war with whomever is willing to do it. In this case, mercinaries.
The United States Armed Forces has a code of honor and a code of conduct that is iron-clad and has been tested throughout our history in the various conflicts in which we have been engaged.
Mercinaries have no honor. Mercinaries have no code of conduct. When you give trigger happy maniacs machine guns and military equipment the predictable result is that they will act in horrible ways and exhibit no restraint, no thought processes and no concept of how to conduct operations in a combat theater.
I keep thinking that the last gut wrenching story I hear about this administration and how corrupt and disgusting they are, and how awful and indefensable the actions they condone, is as low as our country could go. That it is as awful as we could hope to get. What begins to erode my morale and faith in my nation, is how wrong I am proven to be in those thoughts, time and again.
