#1 Much easier to attack unarmed contractors. Dispicable (seems too generous) cowards.

#3 Remember after the Blackwater killings at Fallujah, the Blackwater people set up a vicious counter-ambush, in which terrorists thought they could attack the Blackwater position and slaughter them? The Blackwater people then killed the better part of a hundred such cannibals, with their own helicopter gunship support, while the US military kept a respectful distance and let them do their thing.

I just hope the KBR people make it a point to pay a return visit to this little hamlet and give each of their employees a tomb of a hundred head.

The Blackwater revenge was set up at the US Headquarters in Najaf, about a week after the Fallujah killings. Only one US Marine was on site when a large-scale attack commenced on the Blackwater security personnel guarding the place.

It was a very defensible location, with long KZs on the approaches.

The Blackwater people burned through a hell of a lot of ammo, and were eventually resupplied by a Blackwater helicopter, who evacuted out the wounded Marine. Several of them were wounded, but they had slaughtered Jihadis like there was no tomorrow.

3 1/2 hours later, the Special Forces showed up to bring several cases of cracklin'-cold Pabst which the Blackwater people were in dire need of.

Vengeance is fine, sayeth the Lord.
