The answer is Steroids and other mind alternating drugs. What is going to happen when these drug addicted killing machines come back to America? Roll Eyes

Blackwater guards pumped on steroids

quote:
A quarter of Blackwater security guards in Iraq use steroids and other "judgment-altering substances," according to a lawsuit filed by the families of several Iraqis killed or wounded in a Baghdad shooting in September. Blackwater denies the charges. -Of course they do

Look, if the DOD started to test for steroids in the Military probably 75% would come out hot...

And most of blackwaters employees(the vast majority actually) come from very physically demanding units: Rangers, Seals, Marine Recon....And those units damn near encourage "performance enhancing" substances...

Disagree and get mad all you want, its the truth that I saw with my own eyes...

With that being said, I'm sure most of the Ex-Military guys in blackwater will remember they are Americans and are still representing their former military units and will act with honor....Most, there will be knuckle heads..

Steroids or other judgement altering substances... Other judgement altering substances is a mighty vague and broad heading...that could include alcohol, in which case, I'd venture to guess more than a fourth of Blackwater's operatives use such substances... But why can't we wait until the evidence is made available to the public to pass judgement?

I would normally agree with you but we can’t seem to get a LEGITIMATE investigation of Blackwater out of the Bush Administration.

State Dept. Inspector General Must Appear With His Blackwater Board-Member Brother

quote:
Brother Has Ties to Blackwater
Pressed by Democrats who produced letters from Blackwater CEO Erik Prince to Buzzy inviting him and then welcoming him to the Blackwater board, the inspector general emerged dramatically from a hearing recess to tell lawmakers that he had just spoken to his brother, and that he was in fact serving on Blackwater's board.

I agree with ACO alot of guys use sterioid in Iraq because most guys overthere work out. That being said I bet if you went to Golds Gym and tested those guys you'd have the same percentage pop on a steriod piss test. It doesn't alter you mind.

RS1 do you ride the short bus? I mean do you really believe the things that you write. Honestly, you can't be that naive and brain washed.

Actually the reason we have to use innocent Iraqis as target practise is because theres a supply problem in getting us targets to practise with which is Bush's fault. Under Clinton we had plenty of targets. So whenever we go to the range we have to round up a bunch of Iraqis (usually we go to the local orphanage since no-one will miss them) and line them up at 100 meters and shoot them until training is done. No big deal really.

The messed up thing is if that was in a blog from moveon.org or the world can't wait you'd instantly believe that shite and you'd make a post out of it siting your source and you'd stick to your guns on this ridicoulous crap. Oh yeah howd your girl Hillary do in North Carolina?

this lawyer is a maroon
quote:
he lawsuit accuses Blackwater of failing to control the use of steroids among its guards -- an allegation Burke said came from "people in that community," and one she said would be backed up as the case progresses.

"The reality is that Blackwater has indeed fired people for steroid use, so they're on clear notice that there's steroid use," Burke said. She said Blackwater has marketed the idea "that their people are kind of tougher and bigger than anybody else," and has turned a blind eye toward "serious, repeated situations of excessive use of force."
so because blackwater fires employees using steroids, the ones still working use steroids?
duh they fire the ones using steroids

Go ahead and stir the pot about Blackwater. Our Troops need Blackwater and other security forces over there. Blackwater completes their missions. Blackwater doesn't have to play by the stupid, losing, PC rules our troops have to. Blackwater doesn't have the incompetent leadeers our troops have. Besides aren't our troops protected them as Americans to make as much money as they can. Was is business and business is good right now.

Duster--

RS1 just don't like any of us who stand and fight for this country, plain and simple. He wants us out of Iraq with our tails between our legs.
