No where in my post did I mention who orignially hired them under the name Blackwater. I didn't think I needed to give the OP a detailed history lesson.

All I know is Obama's administration hired them after they changed their name to Xe Services and cleaned up their act, then sent them to Afghanistan. If you want to get into a pissing match, I'm your man.

I won't argue with another member. Enjoy your day.

The Obama adminstration has taken our tax money and hired them for security in Afghanistan. Supposedly, they're good at what they do. Apparently, they've started a motorcyle club of some sort.

I have Harley bar and Shield logo patches with my name in place of "Motor Cycles" and a jacket with a Harley "swept-wing" logo with the Afghan campaign ribbon and U.S. Army replacing the words.
