you shouldn't be. you came back from iraq missing the action. like so many of the blackwater ppl they crave that action or they would integrate into the various govt agencies or pvt sector groups that could use their talents and you have many talents. no, you chose to ignore those opportunities, not just for the bucks but for the freedom to go back and deal with so called unfinished business.

does that make you a "psycho"? i dont think so. you just haven't figured out how to acclimate yourself back into the somewhat boring civilian lifestyle. apparently no agency either excited you enough or accepted you.

let's get real. you're not going back for gawd and country. you're going back to kick ass. and if it's legal and you make bucks at it great. there is nothing wrong with being mildly off-balance and there will always be some skirmish somewhere to get blackwater's ppl jacked up.

i still find it somewhat amusing that you found it necessary to come back to rmb (after being away) to make this kind of announcement in the first place. do you truly think that the majority of the ppl here give a fuck? and any friends you might have made you could have e-mailed or IM'd?

but, for whatever reason, you wanted to grandstand who you were hired by and where you were going. i find that a bit odd.

Oh and watch out for bullets and shoes.

Yes, I won't pray for you or perform a voodoo ritual.

But I can hope you defy the odds.

God only knows how many others...

A good guess.

actually im going back for just the money, i dont miss any action, its been over a year and a half , almost 2 since ive been to iraq. i have an outstanding life, got my AA in 12 months, have great friends... did get demolished by a girl a few weeks, and i just realized that this is a great financial opportunity for myself. im 24, i own a house, car, etc. i figure with this money in a crumbling national economy, i can situate myself to ride it all out.

and actually, ive been coming to this forum since 2002, and i know almost everybody here. So yes, i do feel it is necessary to announce it, and yes, i do think some people do give a fuck (lemat, mx, sandi, etc.)

thanks, that'll be all.

This raises an interesting question. Who kills more civilians: government or mercenaries?

---

government.

mercenaries dont have airplanes with huge bombs that kill people

Not a bad gig actually. The money is outstanding and it's not like you haven't done similar duty when you were in the service...for far less pay. Do you get the tax benefits that military personnel do in a combat zone?
