Troufion,
Copy on all. There are a number of quiet professionals already working within the shadows, supporting peacekeeping/security cooperation on the continent.
ICI of Oregon is just one company, and frankly, they have a ton more experience than Blackwater or probably any other PMC, within the African context. I see your point though, and yes, the generic brand of PMC is easier to swallow for outsiders that the specific one hanging its hat in Moyock.
We're on the same sheet of music. I just think that support services are the biggest player. I do not feel that BW's battalion-level capability is tenable for the foreseeable future though.
I agree that utilizing PMC support services could prove more efficient in the long run.
