Yes, they are trained for it. All that I have read up on them states they are mostly former military. That still doesnt put them above our laws or in the case in Iraq, Iraq's laws either. They really shouldnt be put above our troops we have over there now. Our troops are in the same hostile territory that Blackwater was in. Yet they just get deported for being in a firefight whereas our troops get brig time. Where is the justice in that considering they are most likely making 3 or 4 times the money our troops are receiving?

I think this is more of a reflection on the way our troops are treated badly, rather than the way private armies are put above our troops. Our troops make very little money for doing something the majority of us wouldn't and I respect them greatly for it. I feel they're underpaid, reprimanded when they shouldn't be, and not even given the proper respect and support from their own people.
