Um, yes, it kind of is.
Look, I think Blackwater is in a sucky position. There people are in the same position that active military is over there; having pot shots taken at them, IEDs, etc. Additionally, they are under the same mental pressures as our soldiers. So why would you expect something different? You don’t think we have soldiers that are drunk? And we know we have soldiers that have killed innocents, unfortunately.
And these guys in Blackwater, all of them, are Marines, Navy SEALS, and army rangers. That is a fact.
So does the rules for Blackwater et. al. need to be redefined, so it is clear what there parameters are? Absolutely. I think the Iraqis should lead on this, and make it clear what can and cannot be acceptable. But there are people out there that really are making an issue out of this, instead of really understanding the complexities.
