I would strongly advise Blackwater Security to set up a headquarters out of the United States. They are bitterly hated by the Democrats, who will try to destroy them in the near future.

However, on say a private Caribbean island, Blackwater could hire some of the best soldiers on the planet, such as Gurkhas, Sikhs and Iraqis, into a light infantry brigade with American officers. This would create endless opportunities in roles either too expensive or outside the comfort zone of US military personnel.

Transportation and logistical support would either be provided by the US military, or a friendly nation that subcontracted their services.

Having a few ships would also be a major help, and if not contracted for services could reduce the costs of regular operations.

Partnerships might also be arranged with other service providers to give comprehensive situation support activities.

WOW, a .50 cal AR-15? For real?

Happen to have a site link on those?

I bet there is a slight recoil.

LOL!

I like large cal rifles, I have a Navy Arms Mauser converted to 45-70 that will take up to 45-100 custom brass.
