That's because you're not an economist. Component is fine. Security is a necessary component for the non-functional parts of the world (that are the source of poverty and violence) to become functional, and it must be exported from the functional to the non-functional world if you want to ever have a poverty free and war-free world. Something I think is very possible by the way.
That makes 2 of us.The problem with you're way of thinking is that if we are turned on it will be by the UN blue helmets.Americans don't exterminate Americans.The really cool thing is the blue helmets make awesome targets.
I thank you for your service as well, its always nice to see a like mind.
Speaking for myself, im ready to go outside the wire on a dime. Considering I can get the logo on a can at 50 with pop up calls, blue helmet action is going to be great, almost funny. Because a .45 to the dome will make that funny bell sound, even if a follow up is necessary! (double tap for fun?) 
Ok, I don't know how my thread about private security contractors ended up with paranoid delusion about shooting UN peacekeepers. Newsflash, the UN doesn't have troops, countries put them on loan for very specific peacekeeping operations and they are basically unarmed in most cases. If they end up on your lawn, by all means....shoot them.I thank you for your service as well, its always nice to see a like mind.
I think anyone that is single, needs to be paid, and is hungry is fully capable of turning on anyone. But history is always proof that it can and will happen again. I simply believe that the United States is no exception, especially with all the evidence lately. I would like to believe that Americans would not fire on Americans, but the sad fact is that the large majority of Americans are already brainwashed to accept authority, and the Milgram experiment proves it best. For the last 50 years our nation has dummied down its school programs, fed bs into our eyes and ears since the 30's ...and they have just been getting better and better. Our minds have collectively become accepting of whatever bullshit is given to us by anyone in a suit, and the belief that we cant do anything about it.
The fact that little more than 600 people truly
make all the decisions for the 300million, regardless of what the majority feels the decision should be, is despicable. Just need everyone to wake the fuck up and realize that 600 people are very easy to get rid of. And you just use the power the constitution gave you.
But before that time, if they come stomping on my liberties, there is no longer a choice. Im a patriot and a constitutionalist; I abide by an Oath I have made several times and I take very seriously. If you have taken that Oath, even once, remember that it is a lifelong Oath. Anyone who reads this, WE here to protect YOU. Even if you are not willing or able to stand up for the liberties God gave you, and whether you believe that or not, WE have pledged an Oath to guarantee you those liberties.
Go look at my opening post and see if it contained any premise or judgement about it. I asked a very simple, straightforward, factual question and it got turned into this. I've been pretty clear on what I think about blackwater and maybe it was a loaded question but obviously some of you would rather talk about shooting at blue helmets...
yes, not like the thread was ever objective....
people who live in glass houses should'nt throw stones!
lol.........
Love me or not, I am brutally honest....
