You say that BLACKWATER is a Mercenary Organization!
  I watched a Docmetary on soldier wounded in Action!
And there was one woman Lieutenant, that looked like a Silouette that was split !  It’s amazing how much body you can Lose and still be alive today!
  She said that she’d Hoped to be the first woman in modern American History, to lead a combat team in combat!  All the other men had similar stories!
Now you factor in what combat is over their!
Going out at Daylight, Sniping some Citizens & returning to your GREEN ZONE, AIR CONDITIONG & FEATHER BEDS!  A paycheck that puts UNITED AUTO WORKERS to shame.  Rivaled only by BLACKWATER, which is their Aspiration!  Most never leave the GREEN ZONE, safer than ANY American City!
COMPARE their so called Combat to VIETNAM, TET, PORK CHOP HILL 88!  KOREA, WORLD WAR 2 AND 1 AND THE CIVIL WAR!  Then you look at the JOB ENVIROMENT at home that inspired, drove them to what looked like to them EASY MONEY!  When you listen carefully to the HALF A WOMAN and the Other wounded, you will observe that they all had one thing in common!  They weren’t Drafted, They didn’t Question the War Right or Wrong
or have any concern about the MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN THEIR HOMES & PROPERTY!  We were “NOT” Like them in Vietnam!  Maybe Because most were” Drafted!
This Groups Thinking was ALL ABOUT “ME” “ME” “ME”.
The only time I ever Heard them Complain about BLACKWATER, it was THE MONEY!
SO” WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT, THE “TRUTH’ IS, THEY ARE “ALL” JUST A BUNCH OF “MERCENARIES

Citizen military soldiers of the U.S. Government ARE punished for killing unarmed civilians, and so should the Corporate Private Mercenary Militias.  Blackwater and all Corporate Private Mercenary Militias should be done away with totally, or the populace will be forced to form militias to protect from the Corporate Private Mercenary Militias and there could end up being a civil war in the United States between the Corporations’ Private Mercenary Militias and the populace citizens of the United States.

The word “mercenary” is in itself condemnatory.  “a soldier working SOLELY for money, remuneration etc.”

Translate “working” to “killing” and you have an even more accurate definition of the Blackwater reality. 

In Blackwater’s case there’s a kind of “double standard”, however.  If mercenaries can be judged, convicted and punished for killing, why can’t ordinary soldiers, commanders etc., (even citizens who contribute their tax dollars) be convicted and punished for killing (even though indirectly, yet knowingly)? Though there is no cut-and-dried judgment, most people feel that the situations are not analagous though the results are the same.

Why do we feel that way?  Because ultimately we want to let ourselves off the hook. Personally, I think Blackwater should be judged wrong—and yet—
a part of myself whispers: “Whatever they did, your money paid them to do it; you are indirectly responsible.”  The camel never quite makes it through the eye of the needle, does it?

Going after the Corp Brass is exactly what we should be doing in ths case and on Wall Street.
In fact it seems SCOTUS may have opened that Pandoras box for US.
Since now Corps are seen as representing the interests and decisions of it’s ‘collective’ citizenry of employees and investors.Merely operating to serve their Shared goals.Thus making all on the payroll persoanlly responsible for all actions made by the Logo.Prosecute and/or sue the Boardmembers, the investors, the Top brass all the way down to the janitor.
Want citizens Rights? then you get personal responsiblity and Liability as well.
