Blackwater Up for Sale




This is pretty big news. Blackwater/Xe going down could mean the end of this recent corporate merc phase and flood.

Actually, Xe is being sold. No telling what is in store for them and their assets in the short and long term. Will be interesting to watch the other players, big and small, in this "industry" to see what happens.

I have never liked the idea of mercs. It distorts and warps the concept of soldiering.
