Sad, the recent events with Blackwater have given contractors overall a bad name. Indeed not the case. Been on both sides of the fence in Africa, Afghanistan and Europe. Being armed in some of the world’s most inhospitable places doesn’t directly translate into ‘out of your mind free for all’. The individual, regardless of whose paying him/her, is still morally responsible.

I don’t care much for labeling contractors…most of the folks I know are former military and still hold values and home close.
