Military contractors should be illegalized | Federal Way letters

There are more than 22,000 mercenaries sucking up our tax dollars and milling around in Iraq and Afghanistan. These people like to gun down civilians and were participants in torture at Abu Ghraib and other facilities that have disgraced the name of the United States.

There are more than 22,000 mercenaries sucking up our tax dollars and milling around in Iraq and Afghanistan. These people like to gun down civilians and were participants in torture at Abu Ghraib and other facilities that have disgraced the name of the United States.

The Stop Outsourcing Security Act, introduced by Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the House (H.R. 4650) and Bernie Sanders in the Senate (S. 3023), would put paid to these thieving thugs.

Blackwater USA, aka Xe Services LLC, aka War Profiteering Scammer, is topnotch as an example of everything that’s wrong with military contractors: They’ve killed civilians, they’ve stolen weapons, they’ve billed the U.S. government for prostitution services, and they’ve changed their name multiple times so they can keep getting contracts.

I’ve had enough of these people scamming my tax dollars and disgracing the name of my country and I want it stopped.
