Every Blackwater OG I meet or see is chill AF, funny, and a little or alot crazy. 😂
And Gay AF❗️🤣😂🤣
If you play Arma Reforger. 3 months ago a shit ton of old black water guys were playing on the chillfam server. Got to hear some awesome ass story’s about Baghdad. Blackwater was needed whether the government wanted to admit it or not.
They're not though, they were infamous for pissing off the locals and making enemies where the military was trying to win over hearts and minds.
@@hunterwilson6703 a few of my friends worked there one was OG. I also trianed and sold alot of them gear when I was working at 511.
I don’t trust this guy for some reason, seems like an ego maniac trying to sell something
Most of them are
Are you admitting you have 0 reason to hate and are hating regardless
Okay…..
Idk he told a pretty honest accounting of being a contractor
@@BostonsF1nest that’s because he was actually there. And for those who weren’t, they have NO clue what they’re saying because they’ve never been in that position.
While doing contracting work in Afghanistan I read the book The Bremer Detail: Protecting the Most Threatened Man in the World by Frank Gallagher and John M. Del Vecchio. It's quite the interesting book as to the reason why the DOD and DOS started going down the contracting route as America continued combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I did talk with the very few Iraq combat vets and contractors that did work in Iraq. It's a real day and night experience from what they told me about back then to now.
Can you turn the music up just a little bit more? I almost heard what he was saying.
The military may be cool but mercs and contractors are way more fun. Plus you usually have less supervision and way fewer restrictions making it even better.
Mercs and contractors, don't trust a single one of them
Why, cause they fight for themselves rather than a military industrial complex? Lmao 😂 they know what they are and don't dress it u0
My best friend in the army left and became a contractor. He betrayed me. I cut him out of my life.
@@BrettonianKnight Oh but the vast majority of them do
@@lordfordification SOP for them boys
@@WalterEKurtz-kp2jf and what's the problem? Would you rather they die for less than the federal minimum wage an hour?
I wish they stop with horrible loud background music i cant even hear what he is saying..cause of diy content makers that cant balance the music and voice
"diy content makers" welcome to youtube lmfao go back to CNN or Fox I guess?
He was on a State Department contract. Minimum skills. State Department was responsible for standards to be hired for the contract. Blackwater trained them to that standard.
You must not be familiar with black water training facility, it’s literally one of if not the best in the world. Right in moyock NC
@@niklodpd1100nah fam they really aren’t. I was in the army and I worked for TC. They are pretty gay
@@notgay5859 could be gay.. but doesn’t change the facts every night they are out guns up under nods. Not to mention the 3 driving tracks they have, multiple demo ranges, and bunch of other shit. I’ve had socom friends go through black water and it’s indeed legit
Minimum skills? Lol. There are many former Special Tier operators who applied and did not get selected to work for BW. The selection process weeds out those who are too rigid in learning different skill sets suited for state department work. VIP pritection abd convoy escort is not for those who want to kick doors down. Those not on rotation were sent to improvement courses to expand their skill sets. BW is the company that set up school shooter protocols after Columbine. Their facility was used by mutiple government agencies and Special Tier Units.
And now prince is training the ccp. Go figure
Anyone who’s wondering Blackwater would take literally anyone and train them for a contract, they were not all SOF dudes, a buncha random security guards and cops primarily and big army
Black water is trash
- 2003 and 2004 Iraq vet
how was it trash if you don't mind me asking?
@@stephenjoseph1254 I'll answer for him. There's a huge amount of evidence they do dodgy and illegal shit to citizens and captured enemy soldiers.
This is enabled by governments, wanting to be perceived as "separated" from these PMCs.
This creates scenarios where they aren't really held responsible to anybody.
I couldn't start to imagine what PMCs like the Wagner group do to citizens in countries within Africa.
@@stephenjoseph1254 they acted like invincible cowboys. Wildly shooting everything. Like a bad Hollywood western
Facts
They Killed civilians ad hoc and ran around like they could do what they wanted
Alright, kids, can you spell war crimes??
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do 🤷🏽♂️
He looks pretty corrupt and suspicious.
Did you know someone named Justin Witt?
Ding Dong Daddy from the USA 🎉🎉🎉
Is this an interview or a rave? TF!?
And why
Based lads
❤🎉❤
Got. Cheese was awesome. Like Velveeta but better.
For those that don't know the trash that blackwater collected... *Blackwater Guard Found Guilty of Murder

from the DOJ. - Four Former Blackwater Employees Found Guilty of Charges in Fatal Nisur Square Shooting in Iraq
@@Patrickjohnphotographyarmy does the same shit, it just gets left under…
BW was not the US gov…
@@Patrickjohnphotographywho cares war is war and war crimes are made up words. We should fight wars the way we use to and leave nothing standing along with their crops and live stock slash and burn. People are so weird trying to make rules for war either don't fight them or get use to them sorry excuse for an intelligent species.
Tier Zero
Awesome personality
🤣😂🤣...NO🫡
Blackwater shouldn't exist.
War shouldn’t exist.
@@JimsEquipmentShed If only humans stopped being humans 🤷♂️
What lol. The State Department contracted four other PMC to pick up on secruity their egg heads couldn't do.
When someone just pulls stories out of their ass.
black water wishes they were special forces
Govt cheese was the best!!!🖖🖖🖖
Hilariously great book! Highly recommend if you aren’t easily offended!
Trash
Sick ass vato 🫡🇲🇽🤙
Blackwater war criminals. I love yall
I have no respect for mercenaries,... they all money and power driven, can be brought from the other side if they get paid more from them, and they have no allegiance to no sides.... they basically black ops hit men.... no respect here
How dare they fight for their own buck and ideals instead of the military industrial complex!
Spero che presto vi vedremo in azione ucraina
Nothing cool about a lack of discipline. Mercs no. Green barretts yes.
BW wasn't a merc unit. They fell under the US State Department. Mercs do not fall under any nation flag and are not protected by the Genva Convention.
Between special forces and mercs.. these guys talk more than high school girls.
guns, girl, money reapet 😂 yeah sure. all you really got is semi auto AR and budbeer
Also ptsd and guilt suppressed by drugs and alcohol
Video don't lie dog
Love this guy😂
Anybody remember when 4 of these blackwater guys mowed down like 20 iraqi civilians in 2007 and then got pardoned by trump years later?
We all need Jesus
What a cool story about Nisour square, that those pardoned murderers get to tell. Being a blackwater contractor is not the flex you think it is, buddy.
