So your basicly gonna be a helo crew cheif on a litle bird or somtehing(kiowa)( I forget what black water uses)

 

They dropped the name because of the negative publicity surrounding the aforementioned firefight!

 

They've threw alot of rounds into a public shopping market district located in the middle of a round a bout. They claimed they were fired up opn and then hit an IED a firefight then ensued. What pre-empted the fight was I believe was one of the BlackWater operators claimed to have seen an RPG. I don't know the what the exact number of American KIA to Civilian KIA was but it def. wasn't worth the backlash they recieved over it. My facts could be a bit off but that is def. the jist of why Iraq wants Black Water out of Iraq. THat and the fact that US "Mercernaries" doesn't make them look to good in the eyes of the Iraqi Government. There's several videos that can be found online showing BlackWater operators engaging the enenmy right along side the Marine Corps. There's a bunch of similiar videos showing Army infantry/ranger units also engaging in combat. They(Black Water) claim to be there for nothing more than the security for high level dignitaries visiting Iraq. Those dudes have the same EXACT combat capabilities as any current Special Forces Operator wether it be the S.E.A.L.s, US Army Special Forces, US Army Delta force or even marine corps FORCE RECON. How they were able to strike up a deal with those infantry units to join in on some of the fire fights I've seen is beyond me but, I think it's BADASS! In General these guys are in peak physcial shape and always maintain a Combat Readiness on the drop of the dime! I tip my hats off to these men.
