We know that our Troops aren't adequately taken care of when they finally return here |
|
I wonder what the comparison is with the blackwater troops, where do they go, who takes care of them? I wonder maybe if we had answers to this question we would be appalled. A very large and important part of this war on 'terra' and nothing or little if anything about them is reported. Why is this?

Something tells me they're better equipped and taken care of.

2. I just wonder whats the deal with them, why can't/won't the press talk about them some |
|
I don't like the idea of mercenaries under any circumstances and especially when they are operating in the dark, so to say.

3. Yeah, there's clearly a press "blackout" on Blackwater. |
|
Rove and Cheeeeney doin' their typical crap.
The whole idea of mercenaries is anti-American as hell, as far as I can see. I'll bet my bottom dollar that there is no attempt at all to abide by Geneva Convention standards.
The rethugs are out of control. They operate in the shadows like roaches. Hope to God Leahy and Waxman can start shining some light on their games.

4. a regime, bushco*, totally out of control and doing more damage to America than I could have ever |
|
imagined and the fact that there is no big outcry about that has me real worried. I'm old and prolly won't live long enough to see where we are headed but I don't like it. In all things I do my whole life I first think about the impact it might have on the rest of my fellow citizens, why can't all do that

5. selfishness is a really bad thing. |
|
just about the worst.
hang in there, and rest in the knowledge that you were a real soldier who operated by the rules.
we'll keep pushing the bastards to get our country back.

6. not the low-level ones |
|
just listening to today's "Democracy Now"...their guys that died in Iraq were not properly equipped, and the Co. is not dealing rightly with the families. Nasty fascist company, Blackwater is. http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/20/1337226(partial transcript)
