Letter Re: Mercenaries a Post-TEOTWAWKI Threat
Jim,
I think this will be the greatest. two-legged physical threat we will face
during a TEOTWAWKI situation.
Not terrorists. Not UN troops. Not marauding bands of looters. Not even KKK
members or Neo-Nazis. It will be Mercenaries. Mercenaries
like the Blackwater
USA security group hired by our government leaders as "security
contractors" in Iraq. Mercenaries that are not held under Congressional
or Military review, not held liable for their actions, and have no territorial
or family ties like National Guard units. This
YouTube clip, and this
one [show who I'm talking about.]
Read about the Thirty
Years' War in Europe. Unemployed mercenaries roamed the
countryside, killing, plundering, burning. The local armies were too weak too
stop them--After
all, that's why they were hired to fight in the first place! Once they were
let loose, they could not be reined in. I strongly believe the mercenary contractors
our government hired with our tax dollars will become a Frankenstein someday
that will turn on it's own creator. A personal Praetorian guard answerable
only to the highest bidder. - Ron S.
