SF and Blackwater generally have different missions. In no way am I privy to any type of secret information. Just observations I made because my missions brought me in proximity of them once in a while.

So, special ops are now privatized? Kinda like Abu Gharib?

Blackwater is guilty of treason.


facts backing up this opinion will come later, since I know I have to sight sources, otherwise, why bother to post.

One that I frequently saw was Blackwater was given missions that were more dangerous. If there was a very high risk (and I say that relatively b/c it is all high risk there) of someone dying, there was less fallout over a contractor dying than a US Military member.

Contractors of all sorts make a LOT of money in Iraq. They are also put in very dangerous situations and often do not have the same type of support that the US Military offers to armed service members.
