I’ll bet it costs a hell of more than $1,000 a day to deploy one soldier.

Yup. They probably have a little different ROE than the military, also.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Well, the alternatives are probably the Draft and not fighting wars at all.

Just a few moments ago on FOX, there was a story of Blackwater saving the life of the Polish Ambassador during an attack on his convoy.

The bottom line (in more ways than one) is that the US Military can't do the job they're doing in Iraq and elsewhere without Blackwater. Thank all the RATs who cut the active military for all those years since the Peanut man was in the White House.
