FYI, Blackwater is now Xe Services LLC, as in FIRE Xe MISSILES.


Limited What Liability Corporation? is an apt way to describe how they operate

International law can be pretty impotent, especially when shit goes down in countries with little to no justice system.

Go out the back door to shoot this squirrel who's outside making the 'gtfo this is my tree I'mma kick yuor ass' screech over and over and over and over outside my window, and this decidedly extra large dragonfly takes off from the brick chimney to my left and buzzes around me  once or twice then lands on the end of my rifle barrel facing me like "sup bro?"

So I go and try to find the squirrel who's by this point made a really smart move and stfu'ed, so I walk around the house and go to go back inside.

Dragonfly is on the chimney again, and again takes off and starts to buzz me really close to my face, he pulls back and hovers a few feet above me, so I stick my finger up like a bird perch and he lands on my fucking finger.

I back up to the porch stairs slowly and carefully and take a seat. We sat there for like a good minute and a half just bro chillin' and checking each other out. Dragonflys cock their heads sideways from side to side when looking at things like dogs do when you make squeal-y noises at them btw.

I reach into my pocket really slowly for my phone with it's shitty 640x480 camera, and wouldn't you know it, it's inside the house.  :-\

"So here's the thing, no, you don't have to provide security for them by contract- they're supposed to do it themselves, BUT- and this is important; if we don't give them a hand, the contractor's workers are going to be slaughtered wholesale and his equipment burned to the ground, JUST LIKE THE LAST TIME.  SO, if you actually want this damn police HQ built, you might worry a little less about the contract, and worry a little more about keeping these mother fuckers alive long enough to get some work done."

are these blackwater or afghani forces?

Likely local Afghan builders. Blackwater shoots back...

No, that was for an infantry company commander.  He was a little to bent out of shape over the statement of work, and the PE is like, look muthafucka, statement of work or not, you want this fucking thing built?  Ok, you're going to need to do some work too.

My Honduran friend used to live in texas. His race is ambiguous looking, you could guess he'd be italian, mexican, orther latino, egypytian etc. He said that in texas it doesn't matter what you really are, you're mexican.


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - zaneyard - 09-20-2011

well i'd possibly be working in either Houston or college station or something with more traveling.


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - Versus - 09-20-2011

yeah, houston's like 3-4 hours depending on where in houston, college station is somewhere over 2 hours according to google maps

also, are you back in sandland crow?


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - A. Crow - 09-22-2011

Back?

I never left.  I just travel around to different parts of Afghanistan.  It's actually pretty cool, I've probably been to more places than any other LT in the country.  My playground covers 4 different brigade AOs.Â
