or should we regard them as a group of greedy soldiers who fight for the dollar not the ideals behind the war!
United states armed forces are people of great honor and prestige, role models....people to be admired. these hired killers are nothing but former soldiers turned thugs and bouncers then finally hired on as body guards for people with more money than god knows what to do with.

I appreciate the answer but they are paid close to 3-5 times more than a soldier with thier exact same training.

we are not getting paid nearly enough for the crap we do and when we hear about guys doing the exact same stuff it made us want to get out of the army and sign up for them(blackwater mostly). I dont think its greedy at all. And those guys were some awesome people, who loved the Army when they were in but needed more money for thier families(or lifestyle), and didnt want to stop serving thier country. I personally would have wanted to do it but I didnt want to deploy again, I feel 16 months away is enough for a little while.

PMCs are typically involved in training military personnel. Some might also function as body guards. Most are former military, and most are not greedy soldiers lusting for blood. Their role is important, as they can continue work without having to take leave. Many of them have unique skills and training that would be difficult to procure through government sources. They deserve respect and recognition for their hard work.

They are not "Private military contractors", no such thing, they work for private security firms. Only military contractor there is, is the French Foreign Legion

There should not be "private military contractors" The military should do its' own bussiness and not associate with crooks
