If we didn't need it in the past, we need one now:

A law prohibiting the creation of private militias.

If we can't get that, we should at least outlaw the U.S. Government - and any any state or local government - from hiring companies that provide mercenary services. In short regarding tasks that involve firearms or spying, if any organization within our federal governement already does the job, it's illegal for any element of government to hire an outside agency.

...BTW, of course, these days NOBODY admits voting for the current administration!

To the people who voted for this regime. Will you at sometime stand up and make your voice heard? What have we become?

It's certainly disconcerting when the trade association for mercenaries "parts ways" with a member group because they don't want to follow the group's code of conduct. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I somehow don't think that their code of conduct guidelines is all that stringent. The moniker that was decided on by this organization did give me pause- The International Peace Operations Association. Someone there has a devilish sense of humor.

Blackwater is such a fascist organization, and to think it's run by a so-called Christian! I say let's dismantle the whole damn company.

Blackwater is a threat to every American citizen and must be ground to fucking dust.

Ban these effen privet armies. All of them are UN-AMERICAN.

We have an army and a Marine Corp. Blackwater and their ilk have no place here.
