So I don’t have anything productive to say about this. But I would nonetheless like to re-state for the record my utter and complete contempt for security contractors. This is a principled view, not one rooted in some pragmatic logic chain. Although I’ve bothered constructing such a chain before in arguments on the matter. And although I still believe there is a sound logical argument to be made against them. I find the principled arguments far more emotionally satisfying.
I resented having to work with them, no matter how good they were at the trade skills of war-fighting. Call me an idealist warrior-type.
