I read alot of people on here who obviously know nothing about Defense Contractors. I worked for multiple doing security. Everyone has their bad
apples that mess things up. Blackwater is the best company I worked for, they treat their guys great. On top of that , we donated and shipped and
built beds, houses etc.. to afghan poor families, We also gave them blankets and food so they would survive the winter. We did that on our own, not
company ordered. Most of the guys are professionals from the service with many years or Special ops, I remember a General visiting us and telling us
how are training was the best for the afghans and we dedicated the most time to teaching them. He insisted we stayed and no other group took it from
us. BW has had charities as well. You know why the gov wants contractors?? Because in the end it IS cheaper than having a US service member die. When
they die you have to pay to thier family and life time benefits, etc... so a contractor making 500 a day isnt nothing the gov has to pay to a dead
service members family. Dont hate cause of as usual what the media spreads or people not there or cause they are making the big bucks. They deserve it
with many years served to our country. All the guys I was with 75percent had their Degrees from college and multiple years in the service, including
special ops. I know I got through atleast one person, so I did my job. Liberals talk about us being brainwashed by the media, well it works both ways.
