| Blackwater (Xe) Still shooting Civilians.......... "Four U.S. contractors affiliated with the company formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide fired on an approaching civilian vehicle in Kabul earlier this month, wounding at least two Afghan civilians, according to the company and the U.S. Army. The men, who were off duty, were involved in a nighttime car accident on May 5 and fired on the approaching vehicle believed to be a threat, according to the U.S. military."

| This happened recently, IE, under Obama, thus, like Gitmo staying opened and tribunals continuing and runaway spending and expansion of government power, further socializing the economy and war surging, I'm sure there is a good reason and understandable explanation for this.

I said, years ago, that military pay should be doubled and that many MOS's should be addressed so that 30-35 year old guys in their operational prime with specialized combat skill sets don't get upped or out, especially in war time, can stay in and don't have to leave the service and go look for mall cop jobs or be subject to the privatization of their skills for corporate profit.
