I thought this was funny, just because it is DynCorp. But it’s a job and I am sure it pays pretty damn good. You would probably be very popular during the summer as well. No word if you have to go to the Crucible for the spin up. lol -Matt

This is good news, if in fact these guys want to oppose the Taliban. Boy, a 400,000 strong tribe is impressive, and 1 million dollars in aid for their loyalty is a good deal in my book. Now will they actually produce and truly run the Taliban out of town is the big question? […]
Unfortunate to say the least. It is hard to comment on this, other than I truly hope that justice is being served and the Australian government can help to commute the sentence. This kind of deal is one of those things where you had to be there, in order to understand the dynamics. Was […]
I love this kind of stuff, because it is a prime example of the types of market forces that not only drive places like Afghanistan, but throughout the world. My thoughts on the matter is that if the police paid more than PSC’s and the Taliban, then more than likely, they will retain […]
How come this does not surprise me? For years, the media was slamming President Bush and his administration for this practice, and now here we have the Obama Administration doing the same thing? Didn’t President Obama run on a campaign saying he would not do this?

If anything, the main things that the report hit on, was that the Bureau of Diplomatic Security just needs to continue […]
Oh say it isn’t so? An actual article about the U.N. embracing Private Military Contractors? lol. All I have to say is that I am flabbergasted.
Now the rule of thumb here, is don’t be the typical customer and not care about what goes on with your contract or how it is written. If […]
This is a good one for you guys and gals across the pond. I am sure those contractors with a SIA will get the first shot on something like this. I am not the point of contact, nor am I recruiting for these folks, and just follow the directions and link below. Good luck. […]
Well this sucks. Thanks to Cannoneer No. 4 for bringing this to my attention. These guys have been through hell, and now they are being charged for murder because they actually defended themselves in a war zone. What bothers me most, is how the company has treated them. Paravant, a Xe subsidiary, has pulled some stuff […]
