No I don't have problems with contractors. I know several and am amused by their Im a bad ass mother****er contractor, dog and pony show.
I do have problems with contractors who kill while driving down the roads of Iraq shooting at any car that they think may be a threat. Kinda sporting isn't it.
I do have a problem with their actions in Katrina and not being held accountable. But no more then those police officers who fled leaving a community who counts on them in crisis.
Like I said had I been the investigator working any of those cases and the facts learned in the investigation were confirmed. I may not have arrested them on the spot, however I dam sure would have sent the reports to the DA for review, recommending prosecution.
Contractors/Merc. It's about money not honor. If they were hunting honor they would have stayed active duty and did it for the right reasons, not money.
Mike Ive learned in my 55 years on earth that once a man sells himself for money, its very very difficult to go back.
To you here who are contractors if push comes to shove and State or your firm calls you up to do the unthinkable, what side will you stand on?
Peace.
