Saw this a few months back, the Blackwater guys I've met are not all bad, but the organization is run by Douchebags who don't put any standards or restrictions on these men.

I never understood the point of contracting privately owned groups out to do what Blackwater does, I mean don't we already have a bad ass military? Confused

It's for when being a regular soldier just isn't bad-ass enough; would you rather be Captain America or The Comedian?

It's more like when you need a soldier/Marine who is able to dodge the rules of the Geneva convention, you call them.

That, and when you don't hire enough soldiers to do the job right.

I saw Iraq for Sale, and it was pretty interesting. The piece on KBR was just revolting.
