Blackwater aviation.....why not use military pilots

[Pistlpetet]

South African government considers working for blackwater "mercenary" activity.........

The South African Government of TODAY....Now that is a real credible source to be quoting. Been there recently?

You know NOTHING about what you are talking about. You are a punk who knows nothing about the contractor world, and has never worked outside the USA. Your opinion which is solely based on what you read means nothing. Go post your opinion on things that you are actually involved in, and MIGHT know something about. Having the intelligence to google a keyword and copy and paste does not make you an expert on anything.

well how can you argue with that? i'm no expert, but i am entitled to my opinion, or is that simply a tagline you use for "what you're fighting for"? the experts, like the Inspector General have been shown to be bought and paid for with Blackwater jobs.

scott helvenston thought them cheap. he was hired by blackwater, "trained" (or lack thereof) by them, fought to change things there, and ultimately died guarding kitchen supplies on a mission that broke Blackwater's own policies. When John and Kathy Potter brought up discrepancies, they were promptly removed from their jobs. Blackwaters new manager "Shrek" and a coworker then threaten Helvenston with guns drawn . Helvenston then sends an email to "Owner, President and Upper Management" with the subject "Extreme Unprofessionalism", the last email he sent. If his family hadn't been suing would we have heard anything about this? Does Blackwater's management actions regarding this sound professional to you?

Do you not think a convoy of kitchen supplies is not worth protecting? You keep throwing hat out there like you think the mission was a waste of time.

It was a waste of 4 lives when they were sent recklessly into a known hostile area without the two extra men, heavier weapons, and armored vehicles that Blackwater had told them policy had called for. That's the whole point of their families lawsuit.

But hey, Blackwater cares so much about their fallen comrades they are now suing their estates for $10 million to shut up their families.


Or how about they keep preventing the families from talking to the Potters who conveniently keep getting sent out of the country by Blackwater to avoid getting them to give a deposition?

If you truly care about contractors and want to see their employers held accountable for their ineptitude and incompetence then:
Donations can be sent to the estates' trust account, payable to "C&B ITF Blackwater Victims Defense Fund," c/o Callahan & Blaine, 3 Hutton Centre Drive, Ninth Floor, Santa Ana, California 92707. Donations may also be made securely online through PayPal by going to blackwatervictims.com. All donations will be kept confidential and anonymous.

CitationLover,
Please go back to your boring job as professional Jr lever thrower. What Blackwater or any other PMC company does has no effect on your sheltered life in WI.

You don't have the ability, capablity, background or experience to work for one of these companies. You are just another ill-informed, talking head who has ZERO first hand experience to share. Thus your opinion is worthless.

If you are so concerned about my welfare, please forward your donation to my bar tab in Bangkok.

I guess the families know nothing in your eyes.

I am concerned for your welfare, make sure you have plenty of penicillin in Bangkok.

Citationlover is apparently what we might refer to as a "troll." He doesn't merit feeding further.

I do not

have a dog in this fight but CL is a genius, really. His IQ is off the chart. I'm NOT saying he is right or wrong, I'm just telling you he's not stupid.

I think he is also baiting some of you.

ps. CL dad was a Seal, who is good friends with Dick Marcinko. So I think he might, just might know a little about the military.

 

[avbug]

Well, well. Daddy knows Dick.

Must be a bloody Einstein, then.

 

[PFTEXPJET]

No

I say Daddy was a SEAL and I'm almost certain it's was Dick who benefited from knowing Daddy. Again, I have no dog in this fight but you just can't say he doesn't know what he is talking about. You do not know his background or his education.
