is hard until now. I've asked here many times and relayed the above story and nobody could even give me an estimate. And all of it falls under the Pentagon's budget.

And Xe, (Blackwater's new moniker) is only one of a ton of security contractors. everyone that does anything over there is guarded. Buildings are locked down, fencing, high security. The kid above is doing that but not for Blackwater (Xe).

In the true sense of the word Mercenary, there are probably very very few if you do not count those providing security as mercenaries. And I think there is a difference, a small one sure, but one all the same.
