Political Correctness will get somebody killed. Blackwater's contract was to protect State and CIA people. Considering that both did a lot to screw the troops and America based on politics, it's karma.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but shouldn’t they be contracted to guard the U.S. Mexican border?
To: SmithL
Fine with me.
Hmmmm...what did we ever do without Blackwater in the past?
To: DeepThought42
I’ve seen that. Blackwater’s future is very bright.
