Thanks to Andreea for sending me this information. I love it, but I don’t think this is as good as the Grayson quote.  It’s close, and worthy of mention here on the blog.  I wonder if she even said anything to her PSD team, like a thank you or something? -Matt

   Bravo to Presidential Airways and Xe for a job well done!  As for my message to Rep. Grayson….. I am sure glad you survived Niger. Thanks to the courageous work of contractors, you can now make it back home for that next protest with Code Pink. lol -Matt

   The way he worded this quote and the points brought up are certainly compelling.  That private industry is a competitor with government, over the ninety percent of assets out there that are privately owned.  Think about it this way, would you rather have the TSA guarding your business, or a company like Triple Canopy? […]

     I love it.  If these miscreants lack the discipline to fall for such a simple thing, then we should be trash talking all over the country.  If these guys are so proud and idiotic as to break their silence and cover to answer to something like this, then we should be implementing Operation […]

   Doug sent me this quote, and I thought it was awesome.  We have reinforced this idea within our troops and within our law enforcement, that they must work as a team to accomplish goals and missions.  And I agree, that is essential and a no brainer.  But what happens when you are alone, or […]

   Double wow.  So we have the UN, and NATO both having their top leaders supporting the concept of using Private Security Companies? Somewhere, a pig is flying over a frozen hell.  These things happen in three’s you know. lol -Matt

”New Challenges - Better Capabilities”

Speech by NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at the […]

MR. THIBAULT: Well, the reason that’s important is, so often in whistleblower cases, there’ll be one or two individuals that bring the whistle and allege wrongdoing, and they’re kind of — the history says sometimes they’re summarily dismissed as disgruntled employees, or about-ready-to-be-fired employees. And in this case, it’s not everyone, but it’s — you […]

   I think this quote is one of the best out there on the subject of media relations.  And coming from Michael Yon, and in the context of all he has done for the war effort, I thought it was definitely worthy of quoting here on FJ.
   The other point I want to make is […]

   This just says it all.  I mean everyone has seen the pictures and heard all the crap with Armor Group at the Embassy, but to me, this was the most relevant bit of information about the whole deal.  It is also the funniest quote ever.  Jake put it up on PMH too. Enjoy. -Matt

   I thought that this was an interesting little quote and worthy of a mention here on FJ. On a funny note, notice the liberal use of ‘and’ in Sec. Gate’s replies?-Matt

SEC. GATES: So now I’ll take a few questions. Yes, sir?
Q     Sir, Sergeant — (inaudible) — from 57-TRANS. A question, the subject is civilian contractors, especially down-range, […]
