I’ve heard many uneducated people ripping into the Gov’t, Private Military Companies and Private Special Operators by people making accusations of illegal murder and mercenary name calling, etc. The people I’ve heard recently come from different spiritual faiths and use their “books of faith” as the basis for their argument against the killing enemies. The people I’ve heard recently have never served in the military, law enforcement or had the responsibility of protecting their fellow citizens. YET, these people enjoy the protection of the same Gov’t & Operators they complain about. In addition, their sense of entitlement in relation to what the Gov’t owes them is unbelievable.
If you disagree with killing bad guys, the death penalty, etc. - fine, all I ask is that when debating or arguing your point… behave like a calm adult and KNOW what you’re talking about. Study both sides of the debate and THEN pitch your side.
Let’s start with this reality:
In wartime and in the case of a threat to a nation's security, the government may order private military contractors, defense contractors or government agencies to complete operations that involves the taking of a human life (lives).
The government contracts with other organizations for many different reasons, such as for their specialty, for convenience or for added manpower.
Are there rules for these missions? Yes.
There are rules of engagement, use of force continuums, collateral damage limitations, Geneva & Hague conventions, etc. Professional operators follow the law, policies and rules as they are trained. Anyone caught not doing so can be held accountable just like a police officer would be if they were caught breaking the law.
Checks and balances are very much needed. That’s why both nationally & internationally you’ll find incidents being investigated all the time. Both criminal investigations and quality assurance type of investigations… when done appropriately, will keep the industry professional.
My opinion about all of this is: any person who enjoys the protection, comfort and benefits provided by the gov’t or its’ operators… should ALWAYS show respect and gratitude to that entity or to those people.
That’s fine if you disagree… just be respectful and know the facts from both sides of the debate.
