Don't count on the support of the Dhimis in Congress or the UN. Congress and the UN would rather see a people slaughtered, than see them saved by such groups as Global Security or Blackwater. I mean, there's no money in it for orgs like the UN to line their pockets with, no women to take advantage of...you know...eseentially, this development cuts into their ops? :twisted: Those familiar with counter-insurgency ops as evidenced by the success of organizations like Global Security in Africa, should not be surprised by this development.

That being said, probably quite lethal, esp. in the hands of professionals. Looks like a neutered A-1 Skyraider. That being said, probably quite lethal, esp. in the hands of professionals.

And to echo the others, outfits like Executive Outcomes, out of South Africa, did an excellent job in the 90's in place of a plus 20,000 UN Force that was for all parts ineffective in defeating RUFF.

We use helicopyers that are slower than Sandy was. I wonder why we never briught it back? Great aircraft for counter-insurgency ops...and for air rescue cover.

My dream was to start my own merc company oneday (read too much by Frederick Forsyth?) but I guess I'll have to just let Blackwater have all the fun. Hopefully they'll get some tanks soon and can be a regular RCT. I love Blackwater.
