I think this is a very scary scenario that really needs more attention. As it is
right now there are already many of these homegrown militias springing up,
and for ever carrying the torch for their second amendment right.

Hard to say if God plays a role in this but, I’ve seen enough bumper stickers to
convince me that the phrase GodNGuns is true for most of them. And more
than anti-government, Muslim hating and gay hating individuals. I think there
gearing up for their Armageddon. And perhaps, they are all preparing for their
interview for future employment with companies such as Blackwater.

After all, Video games are full of similar corporate militia for hire scenarios all
of which many young boys play. Day after day. And it may not be too far
fetched to think that in the not so distant future Guns for hire will be more of a
reality. The idea is already slowly creeping into their young minds like an
advertisement.

But, as my husband said, i could be looking way too much into things.

an ideology dominated by Profits and Prophets, is a deadly combination to any civilized society.
why should I trust these mercenaries when they are only in it for the money or to wage a ‘Holy War’. Obviously your ‘god’ comes before Country, and apparently so does profits.
Only Question is which one ultimately carries more weight between the two in their decision making process regarding alliances.
Will they only work for Fundementalists Evangelical causes, or is it merely just the highest bidder?
These Private for hire hit squads are no different than the Knights who worked for nobles terrorizing and brutalizing their ‘foes’ and subordinates.
Lets get eh record straight about the Real Knights- They were violent zealots who worked for money prior to Humanity’s ‘Enlightened’ Era. Humanity Grew out of this BS- A Fact Clearly Marked by Our Founding Documents.Reason our Founders Granted us the 2nd Amendment was to assure such rouge bands of hired mercenaries could not overwhelm the masses with sheer force.
The Knights Templar, and the others, did not seize the Holy land to give it to the Isrealites back their ordained Homeland- they seized it for the Roman Cahtolic Church- who paid them handsomely in gold and power (for a while).
Now we hear that Blackwater employees actually referred to themselves as Templars.
We can Romanticize about the ‘Quest for the Holy Grail’ - but in reality they were paid assasins and mass murders, ‘Holy’ only in the fact of whom they were employed by.
Conspiracies abound about how they Templars earned their emmense wealth- found something of extortion quality? Probably not. Exorbinant pay and the fringe benefits of ‘spoils of war’ is more likely.
The Templars were the quintessential hypocrisy of Christianity,as Blackwater is to Freedom.

Private hit squads supposedly aimed at America’s enemies.  Sounds good unless those enemies turn out to be you and me. But the right-wingers always answer this with a naive “I am not an enemy, so they won’t come after me”.  They trust a private company to administer ultimate justice, and that is foolish beyond belief
After all the world history of the misuse of this type of mercenary hit men, we should never allow the privatization of our military.

A 2004 agreement has come to light that shows how the CIA hired Blackwater contractors to take part in secret operations to find and kill members of Al-Qaida. While once-relegated to bodyguard status for diplomats and politicians, this news shows how those sunglass-laden Blackwater ops had become de facto soldiers under the Bush military regime.

Just as long as they weren’t being used as strikebreakers , right?
